"I have a new baby!!!" Aren't all babies "new" by default?

[Lady Effingbroke]

When is a baby considered old? Is there a cutoff date between a 'new' and 'old' baby?

1. Not really. What's that family that puts out babies every ten months or so?

I imagine with them you have to distinguish between the last three or four somehow.

And then there's the curious case of Benjamin Button...

[Lady Effingbroke]

2. That's true.

I think you are referring to the Duggars, and in their case, they could have a newborn and an 11 month old, who would both be considered babies.

3. "Irish Twins" when they're close in age like that.

4. Pictures please. You know the rules!!

5. As opposed to a "used" baby? A "Pre-Owned" baby?

Frankly, I think that IF you are gonna get one, most folks are gonna be forced to go with a new one in most cases.

There just aren't that many low mileage babies out there.

6. HEY- I was a pre-owned used baby...........

~ssssnifflesss~

7. You must have been a once in a lifetime bargain!!!!

Those low mile used babies are a scarce commodity. I bet your folks were delighted to have found you!

8. Pre-owned baby!

:rofl:

[Lady Effingbroke]

10. The options seem limited.

It's pretty much a new baby or no baby at all.

9. Here's a picture of me when I was younger.

ALL pictures of you are from when you were younger!

11. Aren't all babies "new" by default? No.

Some of them are Republicans.

12. The dingo ate my NEW baby. that just sounds silly.

[dembotoz]

13. if one were to use the adult sense of the word

as in Hey Baby = Hey Babe

my having a new one of those would be decriptive and fair.

If only it were true.....

14. When babies get past their Expiration Date...

"Aren't all babies "new" by default?"

When babies get past their Expiration Date (i.e., when the novelty has worn off and the parents stop giggling every time they change a diaper), it's an "old baby" :)

15. not Benjamin Button

:eyes:

16. Some people use "new baby" to mean newborn, and I consider any baby up to six weeks "newborn."

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. "New baby" as in "newly born, not a few months old" or as in

"the new baby of my family, as opposed to the former baby of the family, who is now three years old"
