Without going into endless details, my mom did not educate me properly at all.
I want to do better.
My oldest is only 6, so I'm quite far from any real "talks", but I know it's supposed to be an ongoing conversation and not something sprung on her one fine day.
I want some tips about how to educate her slowly over the years so that the idea of puberty and iyh marriage doesn't come as a shock.
She knows the difference between front tushy and back tushy.
(I'm comfortable with that name for now. I do want her to learn the proper names but I feel she's too young. I'd be happy to hear suggestions as to how to introduce the words in a nonchalant fashion and at what age. We're chilled yeshivish, if I had to put us in a box.)
She sees my diapering my baby boy and she's commented on the differences between boy and girl tushys.
She does see me nursing and pumping, but she says that the baby nurses from my "belly."
Not sure how to correct her on that one. I am careful to cover up so she doesn't really see anything (I'm not comfortable, for myself, with her seeing)
She knows nobody aside from parents and doctor can see or touch her down there.
What else for this age?
And how do I continue the education as she gets older?

I think you can wait until 8 for more. Sounds like she knows enough for this age.

Go with her flow. Doesn't seem kind she asks questions or is too curious. If a kid asks I would tell them that it's called breasts. I would also say front private instead of front tushy.

Using correct terminology can be helpful in taking away the "mystery" of the body as kids get older. It's about how you feel about the body as well. You might find this video helpful.
