What Parents Need to Know

About A Baby Story

Parents need to know that the newborn babies featured in this reality series are often shown still covered with birthing matter right after they're born; although the shots can be slightly graphic, they're not usually close up. Also, younger viewers may be upset by the complications that sometimes occur in the delivery room, which potentially put the mother and/or baby in peril. Young children should definitely have an adult present while watching the show to provide guidance and explain what's happening in certain scenes. But overall, this is a great family show that could be used as a springboard to talk to little kids about where babies come from.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about where babies come from and how they enter the world. How and where does a baby's life begin? Where does the baby grow, and how long before it's ready to be born? How do parents find out ahead of time whether their baby will be a boy or a girl? What happens when the baby is ready to be born? What's involved in taking care of a newborn baby?
