The Amazing True Story of How Babies Are Made

101All animals make babies - and people do it too! There may be a lot of funny stories about where babies come from, but the true story takes us back to basics - how boys' and girls' bodies are different, how they develop and grow and how they start producing sperm and eggs.

We find out a little about having sex and then the race is on for a sperm to find and fertilise an egg! While a fertilised egg can make a baby, sometimes it can make two babies, or even more. Some parents can't make babies by having sex so they need help from a doctor who can use IVF, sperm or egg donation to get that sperm and egg together so it can grow - just like other babies.

A fertilised egg doesn't become a baby overnight. We learn how the embryo gets the food and oxygen it needs, how its brain and body develop and how, over the course of nine months, it becomes a brand new human being! From birth to breathing and breastfeeding, the story of how babies are made is truly amazing!
