I voted don't really care about it. I don't think I know anyone who does it!

@raspberries: I refer to my youngest cousin as "my baby cousin" when I talk to people who don't know him/his name. Even though he's turning 16 and is like 5'10". hahaha!

Hm. No I don't call her Baby ___ when talking to other ppl and that is sort of annoying. But I do call her baby when talking to her. Like "hey baby whatcha looking at?" or I call her "baby girl" a lot. But only to her.

My friend refers to her (actual, ie 4 months old) baby as Baby A, and so do we (call Baby A, Baby A). But she called her first son Baby R until Baby A was born. R was 2 at the time. I have said I will likely call Baby A "Baby A" when he's an adult.

I am guilty of referring to my 2 1/2 yo as "the baby"... she's really not. But when talking to people who don't know who she is (ie adults at work), do you say "the toddler"? Guess it's just force of habit...

I don't mind it. I used to sign cards with Baby A.... When A was young but I haven't done it since she turned one.

Don't care but don't know anyone who does it~

I call my baby Baby Quinn but that's because she's still a fetus inside of me. So technically I'm still wrong lol. I think I will stop shortly after she is born. But it kind of just comes out! It doesn't help that DH always says "Baby Quinn, it's your daddy!" When he talks to my belly. I gotta make a concerted effort to not be one of those annoying moms.

I freaking hate it when people refer to their kids as Baby Name or Monkey or Muffin or Peas or whatever the fuck nickname they give them. GAH. I have no idea why it bothers me so much. They have a name, use it!

But E is Baby E to our little nieces and nephews, though. But *I* don't call her that. My niece is only 4....

I do this to other people's babies! Not nearly as much with my own but when I'm talking to other moms about theirs, I almost always refer to them as 'Baby A' or whatever. I think it's cute, like a term of endearment.
