Usage Note
Bambin refers affectionately to a young child, roughly toddler age; it is a warm, slightly literary or poetic word rather than the neutral everyday petit enfant. The feminine bambine exists but is rare; the word comes from Italian bambino and retains a tender, playful tone.
Examples
"Le bambin riait en jouant dans le jardin."
