Summary: A true help to the frustrated parent and child
Comment: I had heard of sign language for babies before my son was born and was convinced that I would try it when our baby was old enough. I started showing our son a few signs at six months and I must say that although this method takes much patience and effort, BOY DOES IT HAVE A GREAT PAYOFF! Our son started to sign back to us right after his first birthday and by the time he was 14 months old, he had over 20 signs in his repetoire! He could tell us when he was thirsty, hungry, wanted more or was finished, and when he wanted his blanket. He can tell us about Barney and Elmo and airplanes. Now that he's 19 months old, he is trying to say the words rather than sign them, but he still uses 10 or so signs. Once he began signing our stress level really decreased. He wasn't screaming for a vague item, but telling us calmly what he wanted. I would recommend this book for its encouragement to stay with it as well as its encouragement of parents to be creative with making up signs that don't exist. I initially used a book called Signing with Your Baby. Its approach is different in that it uses pure established signs. (If you are looking for more of an actual handbook, that's the one to use). We ended up using a combo of both methods. I would highly recommend Baby Signs to anyone with an infant, young toddler, or expecting a baby.

Summary: A Wonderful way to enhance communication with your baby!
Comment: I purchased this book when I was pregnant intending to teach sign language to my baby. As a speech-language pathologist, I recognized the value of early communication through the use of sign language. This book provides excellent information on how to introduce your own signs to your baby as well as fascinating stories about other childrens' experiences with using baby signs. The book is easy to follow and parents do not need to use a formal system of sign language. The book also contains a chapter of answers to parents' questions.
Teaching baby signs to my daughter was easy and fun to do. She has done very well with signing. At 13 months, she had an expressive sign vocabulary of almost 30 signs and could put 2 signs together to form a phrase. This was remarkable, since the average child doesn't put 2 words together until 18 months. Baby Signs has enabled my daughter to communicate earlier, allowed me to see what she really knows, and reduced her frustration in communicating. Now that she is speaking, she uses signs to clarify words I don't understand. What a wonderful gift this has been to our family!
I now teach a developmental play class for parents and infants. I teach baby signs as part of the class. Parents have been very enthusiastic about learning signs and I always recommend this book.

Summary: Uses ASL, easy to read
Comment: I like this book because it uses ASL and I was easily able to scan/read it in one sitting. I think teaching a baby ASL over baby signs is very important because baby signs will only be useful til they are 2-3yrs wherebys ASL will be useful throughout their life and they will be able to communicate to deaf children.
The book shows how to do the signs and also outlines ideal settings to use the signs to communicate with your baby. My son is 6 months old now and loves it when I sign 'Mommy loves you' and 'car/drive' to him.
I also like how there is an dictionary section with about 150 signs; their is also illustrations of signs in appropiate areas of the book (i.e. in "which signs to start with" section it shows how to do Milk, More... Signs so you don't have to go to the dictionary to see how to do each.
