When signing, remember that context is important. For example: sign "milk" while feeding your baby a bottle or while nursing-not when you're doing other things. Watch the top five signs to start with at 9:56.
And he transitions well without elaborate breakdowns. He understands when he over reacts and apologizes. I think it’s the best think to routinely teach babies signs.
We taught ASL starting early and it really advanced his language skills. I just love it and can’t wait to teach my next one. I hope parents will give it a try. I couldn’t be more pleased 🎉🎉🎉
Sign Language is a baby's bilingual bridge between the two verbal languages spoken at home. For example, Mommy says apple and signs APPLE when feeding her baby apple sauce. Pretty soon the baby signs MORE APPLE to request more. Then the partner comes home from work speaking Spanish. Baby doesn’t see partner as much and when the partner says, “¿Quieres mas manzana?” ... the baby thinks …”mas maaa mas maaanzza…what?!” But if the partner says it in Spanish and signs APPLE, the baby thinks …ah ha! Now you are talking my language! Mommy says apple and daddy says la manzana. Got it! It’s like closed captioning for the baby growing up.

I loved learning sign language with my baby! Being able to communicate early on was an amazing experience for both of us!
Yes! So many long-term benefits for both parents and baby!

Any tips for bilingual? Should we use just one language when signing?
