Dunno about your part of the world, but here, we all have boobs. We
only
have
breasts at the doctor's.

It's called 'Mum-Mum-milk' by the consumer at our house, and he thinks
the
vending machines are called 'Mum-Mums'.

I will agree with you that 'tit' is very unattractive, but 'boob' has a
nice
rounded sort of look and sound...


I think Booby is fine. I can't imagine a child saying "I want your tit".
People would definitely stare. All my kids call it a booby or bubby to the
baby. It's just like saying poopy, or pee pee for penis, or chi chi for
pacifier, or nuny for night night. The are all more appropriate for kids.

Do you also say tju-tju for train, moo-moo for cow and honk-honk for car?

And how long do you continue with the baby words?

I forbid my MIL to tell my daughter that a dog was a bow-wow and a cat a
kitty. I like the right words - the ones that sound neutral in your specific
surroundings. (Luckily I have the courage to forbid her certain things and
be sure she respects (or rather: does as I say) them)
