Using Sign Language with Your Baby

Communicate With Your Baby Using Sign Language & Know What They Want Before They Can Talk!
I used sign language with my son when he was a baby and it was great. It made my life and his so much less stressful knowing what he wanted. He picked up the basic signs quickly and began using them immediately.
Once he began verbal language the signing just dropped off. Signing with him honestly made communication wonderful. I knew what he wanted and there was not the guessing game to try to figure it out. As a result there was a lot less crying and frustration. I knew if he was all done, wanted more, wanted milk or juice...etc... I HIGHLY recommend signing with your baby. You will not regret it.
We only used about 10-20 signs and just using those was great. My son would actually wake up and immediately sign for milk vs. cry for milk. I had a calm and happy baby!! Have you used sign language with your child? Do you want to try it?
There are many programs out there but I and going to highlight a few. Scroll down and see what is available.

- Great lens! Baby sign really works. Both my kids had great success with it. My son had over 100 signs as he started to speak more. My daughter made up her first joke in baby sign. She would tell it over and over again and giggle each time. She has quite the sense of humour now. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together.
Take care.

- This is a really neat idea. My kids are to old now. Maybe I can do it with my grand babies when I have them.
