Baby sign for the week: More

Hi Mommies!

Here is the baby sign for the week – MORE.

This is very useful for us because we do not need to push our little ones to eat more or to have some more. They just tell us if they want some more!

Baby Sign for the Week: Eat

Good morning mommies!

Here is the sign for the week: eat

This is one of the first signs that my children learned. Whenever they want to eat, they will simply tell me through using this sign.

Voila! We do not need to make a wild guess what they want.

Sign for the week: Daddy

The next most important person in our children’s lives (sorry I’m biased) is their father, thus we’re showing the sign for DADDY.

Till next week.

Baby Sign: Milk

Today is baby sign day!

Mel and I will share every Wednesday a baby sign that you can teach your baby. Here is a short video of my two kids doing the baby sign for milk.

Baby sign for milk

My son and daughter first learned the sign for milk probably because it is easy for a baby to do it.

The Sign for Milk

Many thought it is “close open,” one of the common and easy things that you can teach a baby. And many times, including my parents and my in laws, I’ve told them that it is not close open. It is a sign for milk and they are calling me. I did not teach them the sign for breastfeeding or direct feed. I opt to teach the sign for milk for them not to get confused.

Enjoy!

Mommy kisses,

May

Are you waiting for a SIGN?

My son took a SIGN and SING course in Kindermusik at age one. It is a one hour per week session that teaches kids how to communicate through baby sign language using wonderful songs and melodies. During the course my son was able to say his first word – FOOD.

I believe that the course has enhanced his communication skills at a very young age. It helped us understand his needs better, thus decreasing significantly those what-do-you-really-want-?!?-moments in our lives. I also become a fan of baby sign language since then. And not only me but my friend May (the other half of this blog) as well. She teaches her son important signs that are useful in their day to day activities… you can imagine how animated our conversation with our kids? What more when we meet-up outside (like at the mall) with the family? Signs overload. Haha!

That being said, we decided to share one SIGN per week that you can learn and teach your kids, in the hope that in this way we can encourage better communication ad interaction between you and your child. J

Let’s begin with the most important sign for all of us…

MOMMY

Wait for the next SIGN.
