What are common pet names for babies?

also I need to know more "baby language", like:





1.pacifier/passie/winkie/dummy?


2.diaper/nappy?


3.wee-wee/pee?


4.poo/poop/caca/doody?





I am interested in the words people use when talking to babies/toddlers not the formal words, but it still should be proper English...

Reply:do you know Baby talk is more effective than regular speech in getting an infant's attention. Studies have shown that infants actually prefer to listen to this type of speech


Shore and other researchers believe that baby talk contributes to mental development, as it helps teach the child the basic function and structure of language. Studies have found that responding to an infant's babble with meaningless babble aids the infant's development; while the babble has no logical meaning, the verbal interaction demonstrates to the child the bidirectional nature of speech, and the importance of verbal feedback.

baba (blanket or bottle)


beddy-bye (go to bed, sleeping, bedtime)

Reply:I try not to talk "baby talk" with them, but sometimes you can't help but say a few things that may sound cute and funny to them





Pacifier: binkie


Poopy: Messy shorts


blanket: softy





thats all I can think of at the moment





Oh and about nicknames for babies. My DD is Peanut and my DS is Junebugs or Junior.
Reply:I never say caca or doody. I say poop and pee, diaper, and pacifier or passy.





I don't think there are "common" nicknames for babies. We parents just make them up as we go along. My son is Bean or Baby Bean, Booger Head, and Peanut or Peanut Head. I don't know why or how he got these nicknames, they just came about and have stuck.
Reply:1) pacfier


2) diapy


3) pee pee


4) poopy





when she is sleepy I ask if she is ti ti, if she is hungry I am like you want your bah bah? (she is 12 weeks old so she loves little short words like that)


My nickname for her is chubby cheeks (If you see her you would understand, so cute!) or just baby girl.
Reply:My husband's family calls poop hockey. I am not really sure about that. I think it started a while ago with Ucky and somehow became hockey, but they call it hockey.





As for his pee pee, winkle, dingus, there are so many more that I have heard. A lot from my husband's family. They seem to have created their very own language.
Reply:We call my daughter Em (short for Emily) and Stinky. Sad but true. She earned it!





As for nicknames for items, we don't have a lot. We use poop and pee. For meal terms, we use bottle, lunch, and supper. We refer to all foods by the correct name. As for the pacifier, we call it a nuk. And her blankets are either blankies or snugglies.






Reply:Never would take a pacifier so that didn't matter much to us, but we said diaper, and still say potty and poop-poop. Wait until the kid starts naming parts of their body... that's when the real fun starts. Mine says pecker and balls, I didn't know what else to do :)
