Before your baby can talk, they still have plenty to communicate.
Baby sign language can help babies communicate everyday needs like “more,” “milk,” “help,” “all done,” “hurt,” and “sleep.”
Some potential benefits include:
• Less frustration when baby is trying to communicate
• Support for early back-and-forth communication
• Reinforcement of receptive language
• Encouragement of joint attention
• Helping caregivers better understand what baby needs
• Supporting spoken language when signs are paired with words
Remember: sign it AND say it. Baby sign language can be used alongside spoken language rather than as a replacement for talking.
