Guggu Baata
Guggu Baata aka Milk machine. D transitioned to the bottle when she hit 9 months, however continued to nurse to sleep. When she was a little more than a year old, she found it fascinating to hear me scream every time she bit me. The tube light in my head sparked and I realised it was time to wean her. I would then ask her as though she was old enough to understand – D, duddu bottle se piyogi? She conveniently interpreted the milk machine as the duddu bottle. And she started asking for guggu baata.
From then on the milk machine in my household is addressed as guggu baata. Did I dare to correct her? NO. Why?
We go to the beach and there goes D – mummy, 1 aunty has guggu baata, 2 aunty has guggu baata… and so on..
We went to visit my sister who had her baby few months back. D happened to see her nurse, comes out to the living room where a lot of us had gathered and declares mousi also has guggu baata, just like mummy.
Every time I nurse Dlittle, she has to know which guggu baata? the left or the right.

Thanks for the comments.
She was only a year old when she started saying it, did not sound bad then. Its embarassing now, particularly when around people who insist on knowing what it means.
