Cute pictures! Thanks so much for this. I struggle with perfectionism and feel like I have to do it “just right” or not at all! It was reassuring to have permission to just add a few signs or the signs that work for our family or even made up ones! These were helpful articles and have good resources linked to them. Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this. I am going to work on signs with my 11 mo old and pass it on to a friend having a baby in January. I have four children and wish I had looked into this idea a long time ago!

Awsome! Started with “more” today & my 13 month old has got it! Wish I had started with milk though as she didn’t settle for her nap & it was an hour later when she had some milk that she lay down in her cot, then she clapped her hands as if to say yay Mama you got it that time!

It’s such a joy to communicate with my grandchildren before they can talk. Baby signs add a significant communication skill.

We did signs the “basic” signs (milk, drink, eat, please, thank you, all done etc) w/ all three. We started at about six months, saying the word and signing at the same time. By a year they could sign for themselves. My youngest is 17 months and we were too relaxed w/ her. She knows some signs but not like her siblings did at her age. And she yells for things (of course her sibs give into her!) instead of signing. But we are working on it :) W/ my other two people were always so impressed when we were eating out because they were quiet! Kids know what they want from a young age, signing gives them a “voice” before they can actually verbalize it!

I think this is a great idea, but I would just like to mention that if you do this with your kids, please make sure your baby-sitters are well versed too. While watching my niece for a couple of hours it was very frustrating for both of us when I could not understand what she wanted. A quick tutorial would have been much appreciated.

I wish I’d read this earlier. We didn’t start any signing until Baby 4 and he was nearly 2-years old. It really had never occurred to me. Now we use it as part of our morning “circle time.”

Besides being a great way for babies to communicate, I’m hoping that my kids can really make friends with some people that they might not have been able to “speak” to otherwise.

Plus, signing can also be counted as a foreign language on transcripts! :-)
