Bairn is also used in some parts of northern England too. I've met born and bred types from east Lancashire and Yorkshire who use it. I grew up mixing with and living on the edge of east Lancashire so I sometimes slip into it. Besides its a nice phrase I think and one that deserves to be used more often.
