Mom? Mama? Mommy? Etc.. Did you choose what you wanted to be called and prompt your LO or did their name for you evolve on it's own?
-
I always say "mama" to my son when referring to myself but he always says "mommy" when addressing me. He's 19 months.
-
DD just switched to mommy from mama.
she's growing up!
-
Mom. Thats what DH calls me when he's talking to her, so she got it from him.
-
We always refer to me as mama. HE doesn't talk yet though!
-
Mommy. That's the name that DH uses to refer to me. He started out with mama, which then progressed to mommy.
-
Mommy, except when LMW is crying, then it's Mama.
-
Mommy....she switched from mama when she was 20 months after spending a week with cousins who all called their moms "mommy".
-
Mama but she's also just started calling me babe lol i prefer mommy to mama though
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: haha! Did she get that from your husband?
-
@Anya: yes. We both call each other babe a lot so sometimes she just walks around saying it but sometimes she uses it to get my attention (She's 16 months)
-
She says mama or mommy but is using mommy more now. She just turned 2
-
My LO just recently switched from mama and dada to mommy and daddy. I would be sad about him growing up except the way he pronounces dadddyyy is soooo cute it makes it easier on me.
-
muuuuuuuuuuum!! or when she gets confused which parent she's talking to it becomes "dammy"
-
Usually Momma, but sometimes Mom or Mommy depending on her mood.
-
Umma! (Mom in korean)
-
"mama" - she's just 16 months old though so I'm sure it will be "mommy" eventually. When she switches to "mom", that's when I'll really cry!
-
Mama!
-
Mama!!!!
-
She started calling me mommy around 20 months. Before that I was mama! When she uses a voice for her baby dolls they always say mama
-
For now he calls me Dada. He also calls his father and grandparents Dada but he does it with such excitement I can't be too disappointed. We refer to me as Mommy but try to get him to say Mama because it seems easier. He's 13 months.
-
He still calls both of us dada, lol. He says something that sounds like mama, but it means "more". As in, more food
-
My Lo calls me Mama AND Ama. So cute.
-
Mama. Very conscious effort not to be mommy. My older daughter now corrects people and says "I don't have a mommy, I have a mama!"
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: Haha my DD does this too!
I used to be exclusively mama and DH dada. Now it goes back and forth between mama/mommy/mom, and DH is always daddy/dad, never dada anymore.
-
Mommy or Mama. Babe and my first name when she wants to be funny.
-
Mama.
I think it might progress to maman though instead of mom. -
Mommy!
-
Mama, but he also thinks it's hilarious to call me by name. I think he's copying DH
-
"Waaaaahhhhh"
(She's only 12 weeks!)
-
My son uses a mash up of a Swiss German and English words, he made them up.
-
Mama for me and papa for DH.
-
Mama. I originally wanted to be called mommy, but I'm glad it turned out this way. I ordered Xmas stockings before LO was born (mine says Mommy) and I've been meaning to replace it.
-
Mama and Mommy. She recently just started saying Mom. I feel like she's growing up!!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: haha, my LO sonetimes calls me "sweetie" for the same reason
were about 60/40 mama/mommy usage here
-
Mama. Mommy sounds too similar to her name so she gets confused.
-
Mama or mommeeeeeeeee
-
Mommy...she switched from Mama pretty much the day she turned 2.
-
Mummy. She started off with mama but moved to mummy pretty quickly, which is what I called myself to her.
-
Mama, although this week, we are both Dada. And he points at pictures of himself and says mama haha
she's growing up!
