A flashcard set with baby words?

Question

Is there a flashcard set with words about babies? I did a search, but maybe I didn't use the right phrases...you never know.

If there isn't one, I thought I might make one up in the next few days. Any suggestions would be welcome, especially of common phrases and words that might be more appropriate than others in this context. For instance, what is the best word for "cute" for a baby? How do you say, "do you need to change the baby?" so that it doesn't sound like you are trying to trade the baby in for a new model?

I'm looking for things that might come up in conversation with a new parent. I have a 5-month old and she is the number one conversation maker for me. all my opportunities to converse with native spanish speakers have come up because they want to talk about the baby--especially other new mothers. I thought such vocabulary would also be useful to people trying to strike up a conversation, because people always want to talk about their kids. Also I have worked in social work and know such vocabulary would be very useful for people with jobs like that or heathcare, perhaps.

Answer 1

I think that's a great idea. I haven't looked for a set of flashcards about babies, but even if there is one that shouldn't stop you from making your own. Having two "babies" of my own (one just graduated from college, the other's a college sophomore) I'd suggest phrases about childcare, feeding, changing, toys, and just general words to compliment someone else's baby.

Precioso/a (precious, lovely, beautiful) is a word that gets used a lot in reference to babies.

Good word! Thanks! - swifty, Jul 28, 2010

¡Qué preciosa! is the first thing you should say about someone else's baby, even if they aren't. :-) - KevinB, Jul 28, 2010
