Son calling uncle 'dada'??

  • Nothing to worry about really. My little nephew calls me daddy - he just copies what my children call me. Children grow out of it.

    As others have said, please don't worry - dada is one of the first words most babies say. Once he knows the context of the word he probably won't use to with Uncle Tom.

    And you've got a good few years yet before you have to explain why he does have a "dada" around.

    As an aside, my LO has just started counting but she doesn't pronounce her favourite number "six" very clearly which can make a few people turn their heads!

    Your son has no concept of what dada means. He is not calling your sister's boyfriend dada, you are interpreting it as that.
