Here's why early is great:
* Babies are natural learners: They are constantly absorbing new information. Sign language is a visual language, and babies are highly visual learners.
* Early communication: Even before they can speak, babies can use signs to express their needs and wants. This can lead to less frustration and more understanding between you and your baby.
* Language development: Sign language has been shown to boost language development in babies, even those who go on to learn spoken language.
Here are some things to consider:
* Baby's development: Pay attention to your baby's cues. If they are not interested or seem overwhelmed, take a break and try again later.
* Start small: Begin with a few basic signs, like "milk," "more," or "eat."
* Be consistent: Use the signs regularly to help your baby learn them.
* Have fun! Sign language should be a fun and interactive way to communicate with your baby.
Remember, every baby is different. Some babies pick up signs quickly, while others take more time. Just be patient and consistent, and you'll be amazed at how quickly your baby starts to communicate with you.
