Baby sign language: for anyone that has successfully don this: Ive never read anything on baby sign language, so Ive only gone on remembering what my sister did with my nephew. My daughter is almost 9 months, and since about 4 months I try to be very vocal and expressive everytime I do something. She will do normal baby things on command. ex: Zoe, blow mama a kiss, wave bye, wave hi, shake ur head no no no, rub noseys(she rubs her nose on mine), she knows the differeence between our dogs and always looks at the correct 1 when I tell her to....What Im trying to get at is she understands commands. And Ive always made the same sign for thirsty, mama, sleep, etc. My question is, around what age does a baby start showing the initiative and using the signs to show what she wants BEFORE (for example) I go get her a cup of water??

my DD learned the baby sign language at day care starting when she was 1. She caught on very quickly too!

They recognize sooner then acutally doing it so it is very important to keep doing it evenif htey dont do it back. Hunter is autistic and we do it and have done so since he was about 9 months. We do the real signs for milk, more, all done. Those are what we started with. Then as he got older we added thristly, plane, help, open, music, cat, sit, jump. He started doing them back much later but he did know them and he did rely on them to communicate his needs when he couldnt do it :) Best thing we ever did!

If I remember correctly, it takes an average of a few months and depends on the child.

Probably started doing it back around 1 also. We started with more, bite, water, yes, thank you, milk,and sit. She does really well with it. Now she will put more and bite together. I have flash cards and you can get videoa also.

Is around 1 the norm?? I think Im just getting anxious to have her initiate a sign to me.
