Baby Sign Language: My First Step

by Ms. S on July 18, 2010

My youngest daughter is about six months old as I write this and she seems ready to start learning some baby sign language, which is intimidating to me! However, our oldest daughter was taught it when she was around eight months (by her nanny at the time) and it was really wonderful to empower our daughter with communication tools so that should could express some basic needs, like wanting to eat, drink, or have her diaper changed. So I’ve been trying to refresh my memory on the signs for milk (and more) but haven’t been able to figure out the hand gestures from the flash cards that we were given. So I went to YouTube and found the following video to be perfectly helpful. It is below, in case you’d like to try it with your child!

Most parents begin signing with their baby around 6 – 8 months and our most popular signs are the mealtime signs: EAT, DRINK, ALL DONE, MORE but you can learn over 250 asl signs with our program. We use american sign language signs and 10% of our signs are modified for ease of use for baby. Check out our program: We are the Original Baby Signs and our program has won awards and even has a Potty Training Kit. I KNOW! I sound salesy…..I just really want to provide information for you and I know you will love our program.
