how to pronounce 宝宝?

my research shows not all double words are 轻声。I.E: 渐渐、纷纷。It should be 第三声 for the first 宝 and 轻声 for the second 宝. Just like 妈妈, 姐姐,公公, etc... the second word is always 轻声 regardless which 声 the first word was.
Hope this helps...
Only verbal words '口语‘ have 轻声for second word. Hence 宝宝should be bǎo bao. -

likewise, not all 2nd words with 轻声 are part of a 重叠 word.

E.g.: ”衣服“、“怎么”、“裤子”、“萝卜”、“里头”...
I saw the inconsistency and so I set one \"轻声\" test paper for my dc before last year's final exams until he got all correct. -
