baby words

[strader]

If you are proficient in Japanese, I would like baby-related words to be translated, especially if you know the informal translations, that is, those that parents use when speaking to their babies.

I've been asked to collect these words together to make a game, where players are given words and must given the language, the meaning, or both.

Here are some suggested English words to translate. I've also include the informal version to demonstrate what I'm talking about.

pacifier (binky), food (nummy), blanket (blanky), baby, bottle, milk, bath, spit up, diaper, poo, cry, coo

ママのミルクはもう飲んだでちょ？泣かないでネンネしてくだちゃ～い。 [T]
You've already drunk mummy's milk. Don't cry, please go sleepy-sleep.

woah, japanese people change 'sh' to 'ch' when talking to babies? we do the same in spanish (at least in chile, not sure about other places) except we don't have 'sh' so we change 's' to 'ch'.

[hashi]

Yea. the "ch" is considered as sounding cutesy. Hence where words like ちゃん (chan) instead of さん (san) comes from.

[Xmatixx]

I thought that was where ちゃん came from

[polishboy]

ママのミルクはもう飲んだでちょ？泣かないでネンネしてくだちゃ～い。 [T]
You've already drunk mummy's milk. Don't cry, please go sleepy-sleep.
I found this example in the dicionary!
so the ネンネ is word for sleep.
