Any babies using sign language yet?

I’ve been at it before he was 6 months and now he’s 9 months and he’s finallllly sorta trying to use one sign…maybe?
It’s really hard to tell! Cause I know he can’t do them “right” but in his own way.
He usually just slaps his table or anything and makes noises to communicate so I’ve been upping the practice and he seems to be signing “all done” now.


I might be crazy but just now he was playing and signed “all done” to me and so I sat next to him and was like “all done what?” And he laid his head in my lap and laid down. So I was like maybe he was signing all done playing? 😭 it was so cute either way. So I asked if he wanted to sleep and signed that. Going to keep trying and using them more.

Same! Been using them pretty consistently but little girl just slaps the table and makes noises at me still 😅

😂 I'm pretty sure slapping the table means more and just yelling means all done from my little guy. He definitely tries to do something with his hands, like I can tell he gets that there's a way to communicate with them. But no, not yet. Like 3 weeks ago, I thought he was trying to do all done but then no, it just stopped.

my guy does stuff like he’s learning then stops and will do it only a month plus later 😂 he does try and say “all done” I swear I’m not crazy cause I had my family hear it and they said yes sounds like he’s trying to copy me lmao poor guy is like “ALL DONE” GET ME OUT THIS CHAIR NOW and I’m like “can you say all done?!” 😅

My nine month old is doing “more” pretty consistently. But none of the others 😂

My girl does "all done" pretty consistently when she's finished eating. She has done "more" a couple times. I haven't really taught her baby more than that.

We did "milk" since birth and he started very early doing it maybe 4 months? Teaching others is slow but we think "all done" is now being done in his own way 😂 only one hand instead of two but he has started being consistent recently with it

Working on "more"

mine started saying ALL DONE too! I was like...did everyone hear that? He does it more consistently now so keep it up! It's so funny

Dadada not even consistently and mammama when upset...who thought "all done" would be the first "real" phase 😂

mine does the same but he does dada dadada when he’s playing and then momma when he’s screaming at me for food as I’m making it as fast as I can 😭😭 had to learn to just feed him right after he wakes everytime 😂

I’ve been trying milk but I’m like at this point maybe I should just start teaching drink cause he only has two options that way when he can point and sign drink it will be faster 😂

Avatar

that is so funny 🤣

There is a CLEAR difference from milk and "drink" or water for us rn since i still bf

He will be eating a meal then will sign milk a million times for...are we done with this so I can get to the good stuff 🤣 he's a good eater but def has points where he just wants milk

He actually loves water so for now we are trying the sign for water but normally during meals he just stares at the open cup for me to help him get some 😂

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
