I used sign language for my hearing infant with my last one.


Nick is three now and I have to say that because of his horrible colic the sign language was a life saver!!!


I am sorry I do not remember what book I used but I do remember getting it at the library.


The main signs he used were, more, eat, breastfeed, hot, cold, and up. I started using the signs when he turned three months old. I would just use a sign and then do the action. Like I would make the breastfeed sign and then breastfeed him. I really thought it would not work but to my shock he started using all kinds of signs when he turned 6 months old. I know if he did not know the sign language that it would have made an already frustrated baby even worse.
