Aww I think it's a good idea for babies to learn sign language for sure. It helps them communicate thier needs and prolly lowers some of the stress babies may feel. Especially since they can't communicate with words yet. I myself wish I had learned some sign language when I was younger. It is far easier to learn another language in younger years. I eventually want to learn all of sign language but I can start with these 5 first. I will definitely use them to communicate with my baby, when we have one.
Soo cool that he was signing back so young !!! I have a four month old and I am super going to start signing !! Thank you for explaining the reasons for using it too
These tips are great. My 5 year old is on the spectrum and is mostly nonverbal. Recently we discovered he is more likely to sign. It's been frustrating knowing that the best way to communicate with my son is by using a method of communication I don't even know. This really made sense though. I think we will both be learning slowly and naturally.
Glad it was helpful to you. I have a brother that lives with ASD and he was very slow to speak. Now at 18 he won't ever be quiet. 😜. I remember my mom doing lots of signs and things with him as he was working to learn to talk. It can definitely be helpful when you are working through those though phases and you just want to communicate. Wishing you the best of luck.
thank you so much for making this video. I stressed myself out a few months ago with learning too many asl signs and kind of stopped but I'm going to try to be much more positive and consistent.
I say do whatever feels right to you. We always used them all from the beginning, just inserting them as they came up throughout the day! Hope that helps and thanks for watching :)
Thank you for the info. I hope I can manage to stay consistent and teach my almost 8 month old. I just want to say although this video is older, if your dresser isn't attached to the wall that is very dangerous. I had a friend's baby die from a dresser falling on him. It's just something I'm super aware of. No judgement just letting you know ! 💜
This is a really important thing to bring awareness too. Yes, our dressers are secured to the wall. It's a simple safety measure that has a big impact. So sorry to hear about your friend.
My son is 4 weeks today and last night he started crying and making the sign for milk. I have not done any sign with him yet so I was like holy crap! So I got a bottle ready for him and yep that’s what he wanted So now I want to start teaching him more signs!
Correct! I think some baby signs are modified from asl to make them easier for a baby to do them. In all of my book about baby sign language they are sure to make a distinction in the beginning. I think for baby signing you can even make up your own signals as long as you are consistent with them. The point it to associate the hand motion with what is happening because it is much easier for the baby to sign that to speak early on. Hope that helps :)
Very helpful. Thanks, Taylor. We have a 6-month-old, and we'll start doing this.

@@TaylorRaine amen! 🤍🤍
Wonderful tips. Thank you 😊
I can't seem to get the link for the sign dictionary to work

My daughter was born premature when would be a good age to start with her?
Brilliant. Thanks for doing this - I found it a really helpful video to start this process.
So glad it helped :)
Really enjoyed this! Can I introduce a 4 signs at once?
I say do whatever feels right to you. We always used them all from the beginning, just inserting them as they came up throughout the day! Hope that helps and thanks for watching :)
Super helpful thank you :)
Are there 2 signs for "more"?
Wonderful,❤ it!

Perfect thank you!!

Are you sure he wasn't just opening and closing his fist lol
@@GyeongmiBaeb lmfao why can’t people just let moms believe their baby did something on purpose. What harm does it do?
Thanks 🙏🏻
My son can ear fine but he does sign language without ever being taught..im so lost i dont think this is normal
Just skip to 1:42
Is starting signing at 16 months too late?
No my nephew is 17 months & I just started teaching him he’s picking it up fast.
These aren’t asl right? A little confused because these signs aren’t all correct.
What you have as “more” actually means “show.”
