When I went to see a lactation consultant, they sent me to the pediatric floor. So, I was telling my mom, "they sent us to ped's" And I pronounced it "peeds". She was so confused. She was like, "what's a peeds?!" She got worried. I had to correct myself and say, "Mom, I meant the Pediatric Unit." Who calls it all that anymore?

But, I'm watching A Baby Story and they call it the N.I.C.U. Mind blown. My husband is here and has worked in numerous hospitals and says that he's heard both.
