Creepy.

And really, do your kids a favor and teach them to call their body parts by their anatomically correct names.

wow that comment is so rude! You obviously DONT have kids!

Anyways the story is sooo cute! Everything my kids say and do we write them down in a journal so we can share that with them when they grow up! My daughter did all sorts of funny things when I was preggers with my son...

I've got to disagree with 'anonymous', this is not creepy at all, nor would the use of the word breasts improve the dialogue.
I think this anecdote adorably reveals your daughter as a sweet, loving generous who is comfortable with nursing and interested in child care.
Not that this photo won't embarrass her during her teen years. lol

meant to add the word 'person' after generous---oops!

How is that even remotely creepy? Most people have pet names for nursing, and chi chi is a really common one. Doesn't mean the child doesn't know the proper name.

chi chi..? really?

I do have kids momma tikita. It's creepy to see this woman exploiting her children by posting this picture on this website. If she wants to privately delight in this picture, she should. Her daughter still has personal dignity and integrity and does not get to consent when her pictures are posted on the internet. There are too many people sharing too many personal details on blogs. It is over the line in my opinion.

And I stand by my comment that it is important to teach your children the correct names for body parts and encourage them to use those names.

To label this exploitation seems a bit harsh.
I agree with teaching children proper names for body parts, but in daily life they make their own vocabulary choices. It's part of the small child charm. Language acquisition is a life long process.

p.s. I had to look up chi chis (a new one for me) and found the term in urban dictionary.com!
maybe we should all just be glad she didn't go with something more graphic.

Very cute, I think chi-chi is fine. It's a common word and it's not to embarrassing when said in public. I understand what Anonymous is saying but I think hearing a 2,3,4 year old say "he is having milk from my breast" seems a little creepy to me. Anatomically correct names are great for older kids, when they know what their purposes are for.

** this is not exploitation. This picture has no face, and no private parts are showing except for her "breasts". If this picture were posted with no story I believe you would just think this kid is taking a bath. I am assuming this kid is 2 so what does she need consent for?

I feel like I need to explain the term "chi chi" here. My nanny calls them that and before I ever even thought about teaching her the body parts, she learned it from her. One day I came home when she was barely over a year old and pointed to my chest and said "chi chis!" Ever since then, it has been her word(s) of choice and until she's older, I see no harm in her calling them such. She does know the correct names for the below parts so at least we have that covered — so to speak.

Chichi also comes from the Spanish word leche, for milk.

And the picture that's with the story is no different than pictures on diaper boxes, soap ads, Johnson's baby product commercials, etc. It is not exploitive.

My first impression was that the story was really sweet and I love the funny things little kids do.

And then I read the comments. Why do we have to turn everything into PC bullsh*t? Why not just enjoy the story for what it is and move on? Thanks for ruining an otherwise happy thought.

My daughter does this with her dolls and stuffed animals some times. It makes me happy that she hasn't been brainwashed by our bottle-obsessed society yet

It is different than a child on a diaper box or soap ad because those children are anonymous. Lilsugar and Babysugar are not anonymous and therefore their children are not anonymous. Some people may not believe in the dignity of children, but I am proud to say that my husband and I do and treat our children with same discretion that we would apply to our own lives.

Oh ok. So it's ok if it's just some random child that a parent put out there, just not a child of someone you "know."

I am laughing at your inconsistency. If you think it's exploitation, then it should be regardless of whose child it is. If there's a supposed safety issue, then again that applies regardless of if it's sugar's child or an anonymous child in an ad.

I didn't say that I thought children used in ads weren't being exploited. In either case, the child's future opinion of whether or not they would want to be used in such a manner are not taken into account. Similar arguments are made against circumcision (let the child decide when he grows up). There are some decisions as parents that we have to make for the child, but others should be left for the child.

There is no inconsistency regarding the safety issue. Obviously it is much harder or impossible to determine an identity if a picture is taken anonymously. There is still an element of risk, but not so great as when your identity is known and you are posting pictures of your children in a public manner.

FFS, you can't even see the girl's face and "babysugar" is pretty anonymous to me!

Chouette, the identities of the lilsugar and babysugar are not a secret. Pedophiles don't need to see a face to find that child.

OK, who are they? And if someone knows who they are, what does the picture have to do with anything if they "don't need to see a face"? It's obvious they both have kids without seeing any pictures.

Chouette, I posted the identities, but they were immediately taken down. If you go to the blog section on the corporate website, you can easily find their names.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we want to keep the thread on topic, so if you have any questions about why your comment has been removed, please reach out to me!

I love when kids do things like that. The little boy I nanny for is always making sure I know that he has a penis and his sister has a nah-nii (or however you would spell it) and that when he's older he'll stand up like daddy but for right now "his aim is off" so he'd rather sit. I couldn't stop laughing.

little kids make up names for things AND pronounce things as best they can, my now 8 year old called an octopus an "ong-gonk" from about 18 months. i thought she made up the word, but found out just recently that "ong-gonk" was as close to octopus as she could get.

my now 10 year old was a little mommy like your daughter. very sweet

Its a shame you had to take that cute picture down BabySugar...but I guess it got a bit uncomfortable with the anonymous comments!!

It stinks that an anonymous, innocent, adorable picture had to be taken down. I'm sure it'll rightfully hold a spot in the baby book, though, and be a great memento.

I thought the picture was cute too bad you had to take it down.

Wow some of these comments make me sad. I was behind in some of my RSS feeds, and I came across this one which still showed the very cute picture.

I can't go around living my life like there is a pedophile on every corner. I can't control everyone and their feelings. All I can do is make sure my kids are as safe as they can be. The baby was simply mimicking mommy in nursing, which isn't a sexual thing. If someone wants to sexualize it, that is their issue. You can't even see her face. This over reaction is so ridiculous.
