Word Usage

Is a word 'toddler' used only reffering to children between the ages of one and three? Can I use it as a synonym to 'baby' when talking about a child less than 1 year old?
  

Top answer

It is a child who is just beginning to walk and therefore toddles. Any child near that condition can be so termed.

I'm writing an article about teething toys and I need more synonyms to use instead of 'baby' and 'infant'. Will it be appropriate to say 'toddler' about a child who goes through teething?

I don't have any idea how close in time those two stages are. I was a lousy father.

No. A toddler is not generally still teething. You could say "child."
