Before our son, Maddox, was born we found out we were to be stationed in Italy. I figured, latte (Italian for milk) would be a fun word to use. My son is now 19 months and just noticed him starting to say “ah-tee” after I would say “latte”. Yesterday he actually pointed at my breast and said “ah-tee, food!” I had to laugh and said “yes, latte, food”
@Desiree~ my son did the same thing for the longest time when I would get him into the position to nurse. Kindof seemed like he was just getting so excited cause he knew what was coming!

Although we called it nuk nuks, DS came up with his own name for it and it stuck. He called it kong kongs (which I think came from my telling him to "calm calm" as I was getting my bra unlatched). .-= Annie @ PhD in Parenting´s last blog ..Twas the night before Christmas… =-.

My daughter is a week shy of 11 months, so she doesn't have a word for nursing yet. However, if she wants milk, or if I ask her if she wants some milk, she will make this frantic, almost laughing sound like "heh, heh, heh!!" .-= Desiree Fawn´s last blog ..Prune Time =-.

My husband and I name them boo-boos. I’m not sure where this came from but it will be interesting to see how my son chooses to name them when he starts to talk.

My little boobie monster called nursing his “Boom, Boom” I’m not sure how it happened but he’s called it that since he was 10 months. We weaned 5 months ago and he still squeezes, snuggles, and announces to everyone and anyone that will listen “Mama boom boom.” Most people get embarrassed or just laugh…I love it, it’s too cute and funny!

Gwen signs “milk”, and I always call nursing “milk”, so I assume at some point she’ll call it that as well? Although she’s got about 50 – 75 words now and she doesn’t often try to say it. She has said “mil” once or twice in the last week, but normally she signs it and I’ll ask “would you like some milk?” and she’ll nod with this huge grin on her face and snuggle into me

My 20 mos old calls is “Milten”, which is his pronunciation of “Milkies”.
He gets this real soft, baby-googly eyes look on his face every time and asks, “Miltens?” Like I can ever say no to that!
