  IMO, it's when they start walking around.

  I think once they walk, to me, they're toddlers.

  Unless you're the youngest, then you're always the baby!

  My nephew will be 2 next month and my MIL still refers to him as "the baby", but it seems to me that he's not one anymore. I would refer to him as a toddler. When do you think they stop being babies? At a certain age? When they hit a certain milestone?

  i know. i wondered the same thing, but our family (DH'S side) still calls the 5 yr old and 2 yr old babies still

  Although DS will be 3 in Sept., he is still a baby.  Technically he's a toddler, but he pees and poos in a diaper, takes naps and is just babyish still.  So, 2 is still a baby.  Hell, most 2 yr. olds still sleep in cribs.

  I see your point- but I'm sure I'll refer to DD as "the baby" until I have another.
