DH is always daddy. She went through a mom and dad phase but that seems to have passed. I am glad because mom and dad aren't as cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-transitioned-from-calling-you-one-name-to-another#post-207541 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:32:10 +0000 BoogieBea 207541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always called me mama, and I hope it stays that way. He did switch from calling my husband dada to daddy. I think my husband prefers the latter. Every time I someone refers to me as mommy in front of my LO, I always subtly correct them so that she continues calling me mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-transitioned-from-calling-you-one-name-to-another#post-207539 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:27:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 207539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lala calls me mama (which is what I like), but she keeps trying out mommy or mom (because so many other people refer to "your mom" or "your mommy"). I keep correcting her because I like mama best :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-transitioned-from-calling-you-one-name-to-another#post-207538 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:26:07 +0000 chopsuey 207538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo calls DH appa and appaji<br /> She calls me umma usually, but calls me ummaji every once in a while because dh calls me that once in a while too.</p> <p>:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-transitioned-from-calling-you-one-name-to-another#post-207514 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 15:53:13 +0000 MegWag 207514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to be interested to watch this with our son. Obviously, at 4 mos, he's not calling me anything yet. I always refer to myself at "mommy", but I'm sure he'll eventually get programmed to call me "mummy" since that's the cultural norm here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-lo-transitioned-from-calling-you-one-name-to-another#post-207492 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 15:29:46 +0000 mrbee 207492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Charlie used to say "Mommy" but lately he has been saying "Mama" or even "Mom." He sometimes even calls me Dada instead of Daddy. No "Dad" yet though.</p> <p>Has your LO transitioned from calling you one name to calling you another? </p>
