(chiefly, UK, AU, slang) A mother who is sexually attractive.

For parents

Yummy mummy is informal British and Australian slang for an attractive young mother. Mostly used positively, sometimes objectifyingly. Not concerning, just casual descriptor. If your kid uses it constantly, ask them where they first heard it, not to police their speech but to understand which online community they are in. Most slang of this kind moves through TikTok and group chats, so seeing it in your child's vocabulary just means they are plugged into normal teen internet culture.

For ESL learners

Yummy mummy is British and Australian English informal slang for an attractive young mother. Use only in casual British/Australian contexts. Formal equivalent: "an attractive young mother" (rarely needed). Common non-native mistake: using in American English where it sounds odd or in formal contexts where it is inappropriate. The phrase is light and slightly objectifying. Read or listen to the word in context several times before trying it yourself; the right register is harder to learn than the dictionary meaning.

Why is this section here?

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
