NatalieSheff Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Im really sorry if i offend but i find this the most annoying thing ever! Speak to my child like a human!!! Theye not dickie birds, woo woos or pap paps and he doesnt want cuchi cooing. why do people feel the need to use such a silly voice? I have to admit the only thing i do is say pass it to mommy, or look at mommy otherwise hed never learn my name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychickens Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 i mostly talk to babybaby as i would to an adult, but slightly higher pitched so that she knows i'm talking to her. i have to confess to a certain amount of baby noises, though - she has certain sounds that she likes to hear ('pop', 'poof', 'dadadada' etc), so i make those noises for her quite a lot. she likes having noises repeated back to her, too, so i frequently mimic her for her benefit. when she says 'dada' i obviously reply with 'mama' though.

I also hate my baby being called blue eyes and people saying "so big" to him arghh use his name! and think of something diff to say!! my hub thinks it because people struggle to know what to say to a baby/child-this is prob true but isnt that why nursery rhymes were invented?

Henrietta Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Can't stand baby talk to be honest - how are they meant to get a decent grasp of our wonderfully complex english language if you talk gibberish to them from an early age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say "Dont touch the oven because its Hot hot hot!" like big cook. Then big brother says "you have to ask your grown up helper". Ive never done baby talk though, but I must confess if my children come out with a new unique word when theyre learning to talk, I adopt it too!

em2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 we don't have baby talk but we don't just talk to her as we would an adult either. only sillyish words she says are doggies or horsies. think some things make it easier for them to say but i don't like words that are nothing like the actual word, eg. dannies - hands! how does that make sense to a baby!!

alirosdan Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 my mom says dannies!!!!! this shouldb a thread for the most stupid words our moms used as kids!!! I'm not into baby talk, but I would guess most of us had it spoken to us and most of us are pretty articulate. We soon learn to weed out the rubbish.
