Do You Understand Your Baby's Cries?

Do you understand your baby's cries? Most mothers will tell you that they know a distressed sound from an upset sob or a frustrated whimper. Wouldn't you agree that it would be so much easier if their little one could just say what he/she needs or wants.

With baby signing, infants are introduced to nonverbal gestures that substitute for words. Each time adults say a particular word, they make the accompanying gesture. Experts say children as young as 6-7 months can learn to sign.

Babies can reap emotional rewards from signing, as well. Being able to sign means they can tell parents/caregivers when they're hungry, tired, or want something. Signing allows babies to communicate in very simple terms and they are less likely to cry in frustration or throw tantrums because they are misunderstood.

We all teach our babies to wave bye-bye and nod for yes and shake their heads for no, and these are all signs, so if they can learn three sign then why not more?
