Um, yes to all of this. Just this week, DS discovered the power of looking up at me sweetly and saying "Mama??" when he wants something. Adorable at first. A week and 8,000 "Mama"s later, not so much.

See I have the opposite problem lol. DS loves to say Dada, Daddy....Only when he is hurt or wants love and attention he says Mama. I still get the Awwwww
I have to say "ok, if you need something let me know. I can't answer you again". And then I don't. Today was mommymommymommymommymommmymommy... Yes hazel, what do you need? Daddy.
I am 31, my siblings are in their 20s. If we're annoying my mom and saying "Mom" too much, she totally tunes us out. I believe it is a skill developed over time.
Me too! I read a really cool article about a mom saying "asked and answered" when her toddler started repeatedly asking stuff. I tried it and it really works. Another plus: the child learns to remember what you have said.
She usually tries the mamamamamamama thing only at bed time now. And thennshe just grabs my face to look at her and says "I la lud jew"(I love you). *heart melts*
No mamamamamamamama here (for now) but she does keep repeating the same questions over and over. I don't really mind answering the first 10 times, but when it gets ridiculous, I turn to her and repeat her question back to her - and she pretty much always answers it herself. I guess they just like to be reassured by repeating the same questions? Or maybe it's a processing thing?
