He has never said 'mummy' (can say daddy very clearly though I know it's common for them to struggle with mummy in the early months as it's not so easy to say). I was a bit peeved that he still wasn't saying it by this age (I am 'dah' along with everyone else he comes into contact with). However, we thought we'd recently heard him calling my DH by his first name, along with 'daddy'- and then today I definitely heard him very clearly addressing me by my first name and now he won't stop.
What's this all about? Why isn't he calling me mummy? And why am I getting so upset about it? A passing phase...?

Anyone come across this? My 18 month old has started to call me by my first name, which I find weird and upsetting.
