Not in dicts; is it attested in use? --Dan Polansky (talk) 09:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Surely this is widespread use. I had never heard them called anything else. It's only when I went checking that I found they are also called does. --Dmol (talk) 10:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
It is true that online dictionaries tend not to have this meaning at nanny alone, but only at nanny goat/nanny-goat. Nevertheless here are some uses of "nanny" alone (I actually searched for "nannies" to filter out uses of "nanny goat"): [1], [2], [3]. —Angr 10:28, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
