baby — baby

👶 Borrowed straight from English baby, also used like babe for a lover

Spanish took this word from English unchanged, and it keeps the English sound, BAY-bee. Besides an infant, it is a pet name for a girlfriend or partner, very common in reggaeton lyrics: ven, baby means come here, babe.
