Hi,
I've looked on the Net what "baby sister" means but couldn't find it. Does it mean the youngest sister in the family or just a younger sister? Thank you. |

It's usually the youngest sister in a family. But she is not necessarily a baby in age. After she grows up, she will be an adult, but she will also always be the baby sister.  |

| That is also true although it usually conjures up the image of a baby. |

| My husband's baby sister is 60 years old. He can still refer to her fondly in that way. |
