A Dozen Reasons Your Little One is CLEARLY Just a Little Baby!!

Lots of cute little babies are convinced, irrationally, that they are actually big girls and big boys. If that’s the case, they might need to be reminded of their Baby status or littleness. You can tell someone is a secret Little, baby, abdl, or regressed lil munchkin by the following:

1. If your partner/ little one/ baby goes by any of those kinds of titles seriously? A pretty obvious sign. We might call really tall people “tiny” but the same doesn’t apply to maturity and potty training, so if you’re known as baby, little one, cutie, lil guy, little lady, little prince/princess…. you’re OBVIOUSLY already known as a baby or little one! Heck, my momma calls me “baby” as more of a title than anything else! ;P
2. Do they have stuffed animals? Even more… do they sleep or snuggle them? Or even more, SPEAK to their stuffies? Yep, super tiny and needy! Extra little if they have a lot… and extra EXTRA little if the stuffies ever get carried around like a security object.
3. If they find it challenging to hide their little identity or needs in public? That’s just cuz they need to be a baby and/or little one even more! It’s just a sign they can barely even PRETEND to be big!
4. Do they have big huge extra giant tantrums if overwhelmed and need mommy/ daddy/caregiver to help them calm down? Yeah… that’s not exactly the most mature adult reaction, is it? Another sign you’ve got yourself a baby!
5. If they have ever said “mommy” or “daddy” (or your cultural or linguistic equivalent) during sexy fun… it’s a sign they need this. Even more. And their caregiver needs to give it to you!
6. Do they rely on a soothing, relaxing, little lifestyle to feel good? Are they going home to cozy soft stuff and Disney as a lifelong soundtrack.. yeah that’s a little one!
7. If you feel safe and warm and cozy at the idea of bedtime and having rules from your caregiver…I mean, come on. Stop pretending to be anything but a little cute baby, then!
8. If they/you wear diapers? Instant baby status. DUH!
9. If they/you USE those diapers? Double baby, which somehow means they’re HALF as mature. They probably need complete helpless baby hood!
10. Heck, even pull ups or just needing mommy/ daddy/ babysitter to ask you if you need the potty? Clearly just a baby or little who needs caregiving.
11. If there’s a pacifier, special blankie, special toy, or something similar they rely on for comfort or sleep? Good chance they need more caregiver fun and they’re already little and babyish.
12. If they ever, EVER even suggest that they need this kind of power exchange/ dynamic it is likely they’ve thought about it before… probably a lot. There’s nothing wrong with that but it can be hard for some people to even open up about this dynamic. So if they have? Odds are it’s in your little one’s head more than they say.
