Mine alternates equally between mama, mommy, and ma.

DD has started this too..she is 22 months and has been calling me mommy for probably the last 2-3 months. She still calls me mama too on occasion.

My daughter calls me "Mommy Mama"

My daughter switched from mama to mommy at 23months. sweet & sad. Her Daddy put the stop on her calling him daddy so he is still BaBa (this is what she named him around a year).

DS is 18mos & mostly still says Mama. He says Mommy when he hears someone else say it but I'm not sure he knows it's for me! I kinda like Mama better, but he can use whatever he wants, I guess.

my son (21 months this week) has just now started transitioning to mommy and daddy. for a while we were mama and dada. i personally don't really like mommy and would prefer mama but what can you do...

I am reading this wondering if they would change from mama to mommy on their own, or is it something that needs to be taught? DH taught 18 mo DD to say Daddy recently and now she switches with him from Dada to DadDEE (her emphasis not mine) but I've never told her to call me mommy so she still calls me mama. Hmmmm....Will she just change it herself one day?

I've always referred to myself (to Miles) as mama.
Go figure?

DD uses both.

I can't recall when DD didn't call me mommy. Sometimes she tries to call me mum and I don't care for that so much...
