My Neice used to call my FIL bubka, and eventually she was able to say grandpa just after enough time and she learned the different words. pelikila on "If your baby LO you "nana" instead of "mama" would you correct them?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-lo-you-nana-instead-of-mama-would-you-correct-them#post-508435 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 15:43:25 +0000 pelikila 508435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son gets to talking and doesn't stop to think about who he is talking to so often I am dada and DH is mama and we correct everytime. We say "No, I am [insert correct name here]". If the other person is in the room, we then continue by pointing to the other person and saying "THAT is [insert name here]."

Maybe when you are working with her, point to yourself and clearly say "ma ma", so she recognizes. When she says "nana" say "mama" back to her?

I don't want to encourage her to call me "nana" because that's pretty close to what other kids, who I have taken care of call me by. She's only 7 months but she's definitely going to be an early talker, since she's saying things like "ok, ok, ok".
