10 ASL Signs to Teach Your Baby

 

Teaching your baby simple signs is an additional form of communication. Sign language can help some children communicate with mom/dad before they are able to communicate via verbal speech. You should always pair verbal speech with signs, which is also known as total communication. Here is a list of basic signs to teach your child, along with a video!

  1. Mom/Dad

  2. Yes/No

  3. Eat

  4. Please/Thank You

  5. More

  6. All Done

  7. Milk

  8. Water

  9. Help

  10. Play

  11. I Love You
