What age does a baby become a child or toddler?

[Stillmonday]

When do I have to stop referring to my DS as a baby?! 😬

About 11-18 months when they start walking.

12 -18 ! Fat thumbs

Definitely when they start walking. But they don't become a toddler. They become a toddlepot because it's way cuter .

When they are old enough to tell you off for calling them a baby? sob

12 months I would say

When they start toddling about

Toddlepot!! Love it

My 18 month old is still my baby. 🤷

I would say when they start walking but both of mine were v late walkers and it felt a bit silly.
Preschooler I'd say age 3.

I'd say from a year and stay a toddler until 3.

2 of mine were very late walkers but I still thought of them as toddlers from a year old.

My daughter is 14 months and two weeks ago there was enough of a leap of comprehension/walking/independence that I said “that’s it, my baby has gone”. Although on one level she’ll always be my baby.

@JesusMaryAndJosepheen 🤣 good on you

My daughter is 4 in February.
Still call her my baby.

I say 2 because I work in a baby room and they move downstairs after their 2nd birthday I’m sure they will always be your baby though!

When they start to toddle

The answer is in the name really - it has to be when they start to toddle.

They can still be your baby though. My 18 yr old is still my baby, as she will forever be, as the youngest of the brood.

My globally delayed DC3 has only just started to toddle but I've referred to her as a toddler for a while (she is 2 in a few weeks)

However she is the youngest and therefore the baby to us all at home

Toddler from 1st birthday and child from the day they start preschool.

Toddler around the age when they can walk and have more than a few words. Probably around the "Mummy NOOOOOOO!" stage I wouldn't say 'as soon as they can walk' because I know a couple of people whose children started around 9/10 months, yikes.

I call my almost 2 year old the baby...although he's now talking in sentences he's just so cute though!

I think I started referring to my DD as a toddler after her first birthday - shes 2 and a half now so definitely in full toddler mode!

She's still my little baby though. ❤

Toddler from 1. But obviously she’s still my baby.
