Baby talk/words

JordynLeighx3 · October 2013

What are your most hated baby related talk/words. As we have approached the "baby talk" stage now, my mother has asked me nearly everyday how many "toofers" DDs have....it makes me cringe.

Go!

I can't think of any baby words I mind. I especially like using "tootsies" for toes. I guess I don't like weird cutesie names for penises and vaginas. And I hate when they are referred to as "privates".

Baby talk is supposedly good for babies.

I'm guilty of baby talk. I sing "One little, two little, three little piggies..." when counting her toes, so I call her toes piggies. I use Spanish baby talk words because I grew up on it. I can't help it.

Gross. My husband calls mine "Squatchy flakes" (He calls our daughter Squatch). It drives me insane.

I'm guilty of "toofies" and have no remorse.

As a former forensic interviewer of sexually abused children, I have heard every bizarre nick name imaginable for genitalia. We will stick with proper names.

@CoffeeMonster19 That's really weird.

I do the exaggerated, high pitched talking a lot but don't have too many other words for things. I have to admit that I have taken a few videos that I have deleted because my voice was so annoying.

My step dad does the tummy tickle and "Goochy Goochy GOO!" I hate it.

My mom uses "hims" instead of 'he'... Like "Does hims like that toy?" ughhhhh it KILLLLLLS me. She has excellent grammar when she isn't speaking to my child.

I lol'd pretty hard... You have a real winner.

The only baby talk I do is when he is trying to have a conversation and I answer him in normal talk and then I answer him with what talk he does and he gets all excited and I am like "What did I just say?" lol.

I do this too :-). Or when he babbles I'll respond with silly questions like "what's te weather?"

Nothing makes my blood boil like the word "preggers." I can barely type it.

I'm a lunatic with baby talk. I must be stopped.

Me too, and Im not even sorry! Every morning when i change his 'dipey' i check his 'peeps' for an adhesion, then I pop in his 'paci' and we start our day

@jss1002 Pregggggerrrrrrssssss! Really it doesn't bother me that much... I just don't take people who say it very seriously as real adult humans. I try not to use baby talk words with R, but I am occasionally guilty. He had his first food this weekend and DH kept asking if he liked his "abbycoddy". Yeah. It was avocado. And no, he didn't seem to like it very much!

I dropped LO off at the gym daycare one day and the lady says does she have a baba? Confused I said her pacifier is tucked inside her car seat. She looked at me like I was crazy and said "I meant a bottle." Ummm how the heck was I supposed to know what some gibberish word you made up meant?!? Alas I smiled and said sorry no;)

Silly words like tootsies don't bother me and I have been known to use some mare up words myself. I do not like it when you change your speech to mimic theirs, like calling a bottle "ba-ba". Their recptive speech is ahead of their expressive speech and they can understand "grandma" even if they can only say"ga-ma" and they will learn it faster if they keep hearing it correctly.
