Baby Sign Language | First 12 Baby Signs in ASL | Sign Language for Babies

[@nannysheena6538]

I am a career nanny (30 + years) that just started baby sign language 10 years ago with all of my charges. It is a huge game changer! Help, in my opinion, is the sign that cuts down on frustration the most. My current charge is 17 months and has at least 50 signs and is talking like crazy the past couple of months. When we're out people can't believe how verbal she is. :) I LOVE baby sign!

[@BSwims777]

I've been volunteering at my church's nursery for several years now. This last week, a little boy signed "more." I didn't know what it was, but another adult did. Both the little boy and the other adult knowing that sign allowed communcation which prevented a massive meltdown. As a result, here I am on KZbin binging all the ASL content I possibly can so I can be a better caretaker and (eventually) a better mom.

As I’ve mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been teaching my great-nephew asl. Singing animal songs and teaching manors. I didn’t think he was paying attention for the most part. I took him for a walk last week and my neighbor behind us stopped us to talk. And Alexander wanted to walk so he was signing walk. Then he told my neighbor away Andy my neighbor said he’s pushing me away. I said he is saying away in sign language. Then I said now he’s telling me he is done and wants to walk. The boss has spoken. ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏

I love signing with my babies. My 1 years old can tell me, more food please, more blue berries ( her favorite) all done, and so much more. It's so much fun to watch her communicate. Its crazy how fast they pick up sign language.

[@_fantomas]

Pregnant with my first. So excited to teach them ASL!

[@johnrojas9980]

I don’t have children. It will help all single/married moms to learn many baby sign language so they can make their babies to understand it. Thanks for your hard work. 🙂🙂👍👍

[@lcoates6410]

My niece was born two days ago. When she's six months old I am going to teach her baby sign language. Thank you for teaching it.

[@izzie6118]

I know that this is an old video, but I'm so grateful that I found your channel! I recently found out that my daughter's on the spectrum. My family has been learning basic signs while waiting on more appts and it's made a world of difference when she gets too overwhelmed out to use verbal words. I just sent this to all the aunties and uncles😊 Thank you so much! Your lessons are always so clear and easy to understand❤

[@rylandchapman4565]

I love this! I'm learning to sign as an elementary school teacher because some children can't communicate verbally, regardless of their hearing ability, and need other ways to communicate. I'd LOVE to see more videos geared towards kids!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Yes! Sign language is for everyone. Thank you for learning for your students.

[@genmama1955]

My great niece baby signed her first complete sentence to me when she was 11 months old! That was so exciting. My son is expecting a child in a few months, and I'm dusting off my baby sign so I can use it with the baby.

[@emilylawson9627]

My parents 330 month old baby just started on this🥰so proud

[@Callmegrandma]

330 month old?

[@freyja8384]

​@@Callmegrandma she's talking about herself as a 27 year old😅

[@miacineros]

My little girl is 19 months and has been doing these signs and others and its been the best thing ever! I understand what she wants and we have very few meltdowns thanks to that. My favorite is "ouch" right now. Whenever she hurts herseld she will sign "ouch", ill sign "ouch where?" And she will point at where it hurts and ill kiss it.

[@emmagallo1396]

I am a babysitter and a teacher helper and baby sign is very helpful. Thank you.

[@lydiah7184]

My baby is 4 months and I can’t wait to start signing with her!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Little baby hands signing is the absolute BEST!

[@brighterdays5270]

Love this so much!! When I was a wee little one I learned some baby sign! Then I took ASL up to level III in high school definitely want to brush up on my sign for college!

[@ybnormalkt]

My baby was born with amniotic band syndrome, so he has only one hand. Thanks for mentioning that baby hands will just do their best. I’ll be interested to see how he adapts the signs for himself.

[@stephanieloughead4479]

I think it's a great idea for babies to learn.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

It is!

[@sonyabreithaupt7962]

I've been teaching (myself and) my daughter ASL and she LOVES food signs! I'd love to see more foods! Maybe some nursery rhymes or common books too (similarly to how you signed through the Lord's prayer in your church signs video). Awesome videos thank you so much for all that you do!

[@bikerbobcat]

Just recently found out my partner is pregnant, maybe with twins, and we want to teach them ASL as much as possible (I'm slowly learning too). Not because anyone in my family is deaf/hard of hearing, but we do live/work near Galudet University! There is a large community here and it would be helpful to know so we can help people out. Also I'm getting old and one day may need it myself! XD

[@twiffr]

Taught my son “milk” for nursing and he started using it at about a year old before he learned to ask for Boobie 🤣 he’s learned how to sign please and thank you now at the age of 19 months and it is my favorite. So precious. I love signing with him

[@oliviahaskell4849]

as a n impaired adult: this should be posted with effective closed captioning. Its for deaf people and not clear or accurate. Mindfulness practice and interpersonal effectiveness

[@ghana21]

Just tap the video, click gear, then click "closed captions".

I want to teach my niece baby sign language when she's born. Thank you for the video you made.

[@Davemac122383]

With one handed signs does it matter if you use your left or right hand?

[@AliceHoppmeyer]

Thank you . Can’t wait to try it with my grandbaby

[@DestructoPop]

We have a TV that when idle shows Photos of my daughter, which she is fascinated with, especially baby photos, so she really likes the sign "baby". She's still non verbal, she mostly communicates with sounds and sign, "dada"= happy, "mama"=sad, and baba=tired. But she signs for food, more, drink, and sleepy, go outside, and baby just fine. She's also good at all done and book, and she's starting to get the hang of play. But nowadays she's really attached to the sign for baby, she signs it when she sees kids younger than her in the store or at the playground, as well as when she sees photos or video of babies.

[@meditationmatterz7441]

wow i have never been this early to one of your videos, keep up the good work!!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thanks!!!

[@lindersonteixeira]

At what age should I start?

[@BigMac1998]

I love using sign language w my baby 💜

[@etovar8669]

I am a left handed person. Is it okay to sign using my left hand, or do I need to use my right hand only?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Yes use your left hand! The rule is to use your dominate hand.

[@tx2obsessed23]

Whenever me and my sisters were babies or when she was babysitting, she would try and get the baby to sign more in ASL

[@AmbientEngines]

This was a great video. Thanks for the hard work.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tygerlily1700]

This is a great video in every way! God Bless you always ❤❤❤

[@karenbouphanouvong462]

do you certify people in sign language

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We plan to offer a course for more intense practice that one could receive a certification of completion.

[@karenbouphanouvong462]

I would love to be certified

[@yewandeadeyemi5882]

When can I start sign language with my baby? He’s currently 2 months old

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Some babies can start producing a couple of signs as early as 5 months, so introducing it to them before then for sure.

[@A.Musa76]

My son put both hands on his belly and he pulls it away to the side like the opposite motion of more (sign language). I can’t figure it out what it means. I was thinking full or done but I don’t know.

[@mrs.g5423]

For impaired adults that might be deaf this might not be for you… you should have already learned sign language. This is for someone that doesn’t know sign language and wants to find a way to communicate with there babies

[@mrs.g5423]

You can start early as possible so they can communicate with you….

[@edwardsmith1432]

You were wrong on sleep. You signed bed.

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Yes this is the sign for bed. Sleep can be signed a few different ways. For the purpose of teaching babies, this sign for sleep is more iconic and easier to produce.

[@xialiwu8897]

Are you using ASL or "Baby Sign Language"?

[@Callmegrandma]

Good question!

[@jenleggett8719]

Zoo animals

[@toriwalker7241]

I strongly disagree.. i know many parents who used sign language to communicate and stalled speech development of their children. Currently a friend of mine has a daughter turning 3 who still does not speak, and now shes at that point of frustration because the other children try to communicate with her and she can not.. I think there is a fine line when using it, and if your not careful it becomes the first language which is NOT widely practised in children.. If your going to use it, speech should be encouraged along with it.

[@flewjewcoop5308]

Children are not monkeys.

[@flewjewcoop5308]

My daughter got on the bandwagon with this fad. My grandchild is almost two, now, and looks like an autistic child. If you d9n't sign to her she ignores you and walks away.

[@TerryFarrah]
