my youngest sister gave birth to twins last month my children twin boys were there to see their aunt deliver they bioth came and asked me mummy why did the doctor cut the babys umbilical cord they had asked this question when their sister was born 2 years ago please tell me in detail how to eplain about to the kids Ishu replied. Hi Nalini, this is actually an organ which connects the baby with the mother to pass all kind of proteins and vitamins which we take it. Once the baby is out of the body they are been separated from the mother Ashna replied. Umbilical cord is basically a tube through which the baby and mother exchange all the nutrients and also oxygen. When the baby is delivered all his organs are developed enough to function on their own so the chord is not needed. No Name replied. Hello Nalini,
So you had a major problem of explaining it your kids it can be done so easily show then with an example and I would say one thing that you need to skip such things and now days children had become very sharp minded also. Nikki replied. Hello Nalini,
I think you can explain to your kids according to their understandable language. Because they can't understand again doubts will be raising from your answer, its better to skip or divert the topic. red petal replied. it is very difficult to explain children about the umbilical cord. just tell them it is connected to mother and baby so that when it is in mothers belly baby can get food as you can eat by yourself and baby can't do it in the mother's belly. and after coming outside the mother's belly it can get his food independently and doesn't need umbilical cord to survive.
