There are a few good and amusing examples of this on YouTube! Some sound more like nam, some sound more like yum. This is one of the cutest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blVEC0ERdnE
To me it seems that "yum yum" is the more standard one in English. Anyone would say that to a baby, whereas I'd be a bit surprised to hear an older person say "nom nom". Maybe it's newer.
