Here is a very handy website for learning how to sign with your baby. They offer classes (with a handy zip code lookup) and various programs to purchase. I use my own hand gestures with Anthony but never did try the signing thing. My girlfriend is doing it with her son and he seems to respond well to it.
“The Baby Signs Program teaches babies to use simple, easy-to-do gestures for communicating with their parents and caregivers. These gestures or “signs” represent an item or concept, like “cat,” “eat,” or “all gone.”
Using signs gives babies a way to “talk” with their parents, before they can talk. Babies can communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills!”
