Dear Montessori mamas, how do you call your babies? I’m a FTM, 34w4d and this question just doesn’t get answered in my mind. Traditionally, babies are called “honey” or “sweetie”.. does it align with the Montessori principles?

I didn’t realize you couldn’t call them those things. I call my son either Bubby or by his name. Can you tell me what in the Montessori principles doesn’t align? Is it the calling things by actual name?

That’s what I’m unsure about, I’ll post when I find something out. Since one of the Montessori’s principles is to have real things instead of fantasy, that’s what made me think about this. But again, it might not be worth going that deep. I hope to get some advice from a certified Montessori teacher and will post the response here as soon as I have it.
