my sister`s nickname was Miss Piggy until she was about 10 or 11, no one thought anything of it... we even have a home video where she says `everyone calls me miss piggy, cause I am one!` it was funny and cute (even to her it seemed) until she became anorexic at age 16... she said it really effected how she thought about herself once she got older. She is 21 now and recovered, but I could never call my daughter or son anything like that.

Hmm.. it`s ok now, but I agree not to continue for too long as you never know how she may interpret it. But tehre is no problem doing now! I call my LO chubby chubs ;)

CAreful it might stick!!! I used to call my daughter `Chubby-Chunkers` but had to make sure I got out of the habit early!!!

We call our daughter stinky and stinker butt so much that its pretty much her name. I dont think there is anything wrong with it

My little guy is almost 5 weeks old and we call him fatty and oinker all the time. he`s gained over 3 lbs in this short time and eats constantly, so he`s earned it! :) now if he was 8 and chubby, we would probably avoid calling him piggy!

hahaha, it IS better than calling her ugly!! We make fun of JJ`s belly sometimes (he is 15 mo) and after a bottle his belly is literally bigger than his head!!! So we call him chubby too but rarely and TOTALLY in jest. I think if they are old enough to understand, I would never say it....not even in jest. That stuff can change a person or stick with them for a looooong time. I am sure you aren`t a horrible mommy...yo just have a good sense of humour!

One of my early memories as a child (I have no idea what age I was, but I`m thinking around 6 or 7) my mom and I were buying me new pants because I was outgrowing my old ones. She tried on a pair that was too tight and commented that I should go on a diet. I dont think she was serious, but that was the first time I felt like I was fat, and that really affected me growing up, I`ve constantly been self conscious about it. I know its different than a loving nickname, I just wanted to point out that in todays society anything that might make a kid feel overweight can affect them more than you may realize. I will never tell Sarah she needs to go on a diet, or anything that might make her feel bad. Rather (if she needs it) I`ll adjust her meals and snacks and encourage more outdoor activities.

JMO but at age one I think it is a little mean. I would just say stop before she knows what it means. I had a friend who had nicknames for her dd like that & when she was 3, YES 3 she said she would not wear certain clothes because they made her look fat!

busymommyof3 (987.4 days ago)
I think its fine until for now but as she starts to understand NO! You probably should not do it in front of people. they will think its mean!

I used to call my daughter cute nicknames like that when she was a little rollie pollie baby. I called her Chub Chubs, Chunky Monkey, and Squishy Butt. =) It`s your baby! You`re not going to do something to damage her =P

MummyLJ (987.4 days ago)
It`s ok now, but another reason you might want to stop before she`s older is kids repeat EVERYTHING and she`ll embarrass the crap out of you one day by saying it to someone else lol

sadielady (987.4 days ago)

daydays mom (987.4 days ago)
i dont think your horrible i just think its something that people will look @ it in a bad way...sometimes i get mad @ my lil girl when she bites me and i call her a lil turd but ya know it doesnt madder what we call our kids as long as its not something that will reflect on how they feel bout themselves when they get oldER!

I think now its cute I call my daughter chubba but I am going to stop soon cos I dont want her growing up thinking she is fat.

california-mom (987.4 days ago)
We call our 4 month old squashy, chubbyness, squishy, fatty mcFat fat and all kinds of other adorable names. We even call those names to our 3 year old even though hes very slender but loves to eat lol! Our baby is kind of rolly polly and its absolutely the cutest thing EVER! Our other 2 were really little, tiny babies so were stoked to have a chubby one! Obviously Im not going to call her that when shes older but for now, its such a lovey nickname! ITs not like were saying, dang heffer youre chunky. Or something in a mean way...

*couldnt

i realize right now its cute, but if you keeep doing it when she is getting old enough to understand what words mean, then she will believe she IS fat if that is what you tell her she is. when i worked at a preschool that took ages infant to kindergarden we had to learn about this. we werent allowed to call kids any cute names that might influence them later. like we could say `your so silly` or `your suck a goober` bc eventually they will believe thats what they really are.

Hi there. My profile name is after my 8 year old girl whose nickname is Fatty:)..she`s been called this since day one and she loves it but only close friends and family can call her by that name(her rules). My profile photo shows both my girls and she is nowhere near fat but understands that it`s an affectionate name given when she was born. When she was a few months old a staff member at my school commented that her nickname was Fatty as a child and she hated it as the kids would tease her. As for my Fatty,her rules are you can`t call her Fatty without her explicit permission...so I guess it depends on how you use it. PS Fatty even has her own caps and tshirts printed with her NN on it:)
