Baby Signs

Over the last 2 months we have been trying to teach Hannah sign-language. She now actively uses the ASL signs for 'more', 'eat', 'milk' and 'drink' as well as 'bye-bye'. This is really useful and reduces stress when we are out since she can just tell us what she wants.

Here Hannah is telling mum that sne wants some milk, (and would prefer draught rather than bottled). You can see her do the sign for 'milk' with her right hand.



This is Hannah signing that she wants some food.




This is Hannah signing for 'more'. We taught her this sign using bread - since she often wants more of it - so she might think it means 'bread'



We are now working on the signs for 'water', 'bath', bed', 'nappy + change', 'no + touch', 'where' and 'hurt'.
