He's still my baby to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215391 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:10:03 +0000 rachiecakes 1215391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J says, "my mama!" and I usually respond, "my baby!", he's almost 2, but he's my only. He's definitely still my baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215308 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:43:13 +0000 autumnlove 1215308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215298 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:39:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 1215298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 13 months and one of my pet names for her is "baby girl", I'm trying to stop that though! I'm slowly switching over to "my love." But it's hard, when she's actually cuddling me I just sing her a silly song I made up with baby girl in the words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215236 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:17:12 +0000 mamimami 1215236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone still calls them babies. In Spanish they don't have a word for toddler so baby goes a long way and I'm totally OK with that! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215224 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:13:53 +0000 Alivoo01 1215224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is still an infant so can't comment yet. But my baby cousin is 16 and I still call him my baby cousin. He'll always be my baby cousin. haha!</p> <p>Hubby's family calls him baby since little, and they still do to this day! Even his nephew calls him Uncle Baby because that's the only name he hears his family call his uncle! And I'm sure they'll always call him that. He's almost 31! haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215183 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:58:32 +0000 Mrsbells 1215183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes she is 18 months and I still call her a baby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215176 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:55:11 +0000 purrpletulips 1215176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still call my 3.5 yo baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215125 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 08:22:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1215125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mama still calls me "baby girl" sometimes, and I'm 29 and her oldest! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215079 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 07:38:13 +0000 JoJoGirl 1215079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom still calls me her baby even though I am a couple of weeks away from 36 and not the youngest ;) I know it's more for her benefit than having anything to do with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215066 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 07:25:08 +0000 OldEnglandMama 1215066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still call my baby brother my, uh, baby brother.

My one will respond by saying he is my big baby since we've had his baby sister. Whenever I play with her and say "who's so big" if he hears me he so no "little big". They will always be my babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1215048 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 06:42:03 +0000 Dandelion 1215048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6 and gets offended when I call him "baby" lol.

I think I'll try to stop at 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1214934 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:18:30 +0000 rsp213 1214934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still call L my baby or even refer to her as a baby to my husband and she turned 2 back in August! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1214926 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:04:57 +0000 BoogieBea 1214926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger one is the same age and I totally call her baby. I try to cradle her all the time like a baby too. She hates it unless she's upset and needs comforting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1214921 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:00:03 +0000 sandy 1214921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still call my 2yo baby randomly...so sometimes she will randomly say to me "hi baby" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1214918 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:58:22 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1214918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call both my little ones babies. It makes me happy... Then again, I call the teens of friends babies too... (To their parents, not their faces)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-still-call-your-child-baby-even-though-theyre-no-longer-a-baby#post-1214908 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 22:45:24 +0000 mrbee 1214908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I realized recently that I still call our daughter Olive "baby" sometimes... and she is over two years old now!! I would never have called our older son Charlie baby when he was two years old. She is our youngest though and so she's still my baby haha.</p> <p>I guess birth order really does make a difference! I'm gonna try and stop calling her baby though... we'll have to come up with some new nicknames for her!</p> <p>Do you still call your child "baby" even though they're no longer a baby? What's the oldest age that your child has been when you called them, "baby"? </p>
