When the baby starts toddling?

ledodgyrobespierre · 09/08/2006 09:52

I reckon it's when they start walking as they toddle along.

MerlinsBeard · 09/08/2006 09:53

when they are over 1 and they are walking or toddling

but about 2ish seems the norm round here to call your child a toddler

I know people who call their five year olds their babies!

nailpolish · 09/08/2006 09:55

if a child is walking/toddling then he/she is a toddler!

but she will always be your baby too

oh yes I alternate between calling DD baby and big girl. No wonder her behaviour is so unpredictable.
