At what age did you start teaching them? I know it is too early now, I just want an idea of when to try it. I have the Baby Einstein DVD. Any other videos/tools you would recommend?
We have the Baby Signs book/DVD, which is pretty good. You can start at any age - we are teaching just a couple of signs right now and I think DS will be able to understand and maybe sigh a bit by about 7 months.
We started doing it consistently at 6mo. and she just started getting it. Milk and all done are the only ones she has down. I would start asap so you get in the habit of it.
My 2 girls, both born on a Friday the 13th, are exactly 2 years, 2 months, 2 hours and 2 minutes apart! And Baby Boy joined us October 11, 2013!
This is super late, but, we sign to DD and also use the DVD "Baby Signing Time." We are on Volume I right now, they have a bunch...and then regular "Signing Time" for later. We started signing to DD when she was 4.5 months old and using the DVD around 5 months. She signs "milk" sometimes, but not always. I think she'll be doing a bunch of signs in another month or two. Good luck!
We've been using BE's dvd since 6mos and still no signs And we are incredibly consistent. But if I know my LO, she'll just one day wake up and sign all of them at once lol. She also doesn't wave hello or bye bye yet and that's usually a marker of rediness for signing.
