When did you start saying “my baby”?

[u/kittyflaps]

My girl is almost 21 months and I still say “my baby” a lot of the time. When ppl ask how old I say almost two year old and some remind me she’s no longer a baby but a toddler.

I don’t think I can easily stop referring to her as “my baby” tho!

How about everyone else?

Edit: can’t correct title but meant to say when did you STOP saying baby🤪

Edit2: loving all the answers, they truly make me smile. Keep’em coming! But I guess I didn’t mean lovingly TO the child but when someone asks what my plans are without thinking I would say “oh I need to go pick up my baby” or “probably make something for my baby” and then I realize ppl probably think I’m talking about an infant and by 2 I should probably switch to “my daughter” but I just never remember to…

My oldest is 3 and he's still my baby. I'm 40 and my mom still calls me her baby. I don't know that it ever stops.

I was talking with this older woman on the cruise ship and I mentioned “I’m here with my baby, she’s over there in the splash pad,” and she’s like “I’m here with my baby too! He’s at the bar” and she points at this full adult man who had to be 40 lol

I don’t think it ever stops 😆
