Being a new mom can really be an exciting experience, but it can also be frustrating at the same time, especially when you know your baby wants to tell you something and you just cannot understanding it. In such a case, you may feel so helpless and depressed. Fortunately, there is now a thing called baby sign language that you can use to communicate with your baby. Baby sign language is a new technique of communicating with your baby associating words with uses hand gestures and common objects and actions.
It is important to note that generally, babies’ learning abilities are already present even before birth. Thus anything they hear or see or touch they can associate them with the signs you are constantly using to bring out your point.

The most effective way of teaching your baby sign language is through modeling. As you show your baby certain objects and actions, use signs or hand gestures. You can also have your baby feel the objects and actions with his hands and legs. Moreover, try using simple words with signs and actions that you perform. Even though your baby may be too young to follow you, in time he will be able to understand what you are trying to tell him.
When you have to sing or talk to your baby, keep it as natural or possible. Do not force it on your baby to learn baby sign language. Over stimulation can be stressful to the baby, and he may lose interest. Always remember that each baby is unique and that nature has a way of developing the skills of your baby.
“Bath” is one word that you can easily teach your baby. Say the word slowly as you demonstrate giving your baby a bath. You can also teach your baby “happy”. The best way to do this is to massage your baby when he is crying so hard, pause, and then say “happy”, before continuing on the massage.
As your baby starts to grow and develop more skills, he will be able to communicate with you using signs. You can further enhance this skill by consistently using simple words to illustrate an action. Again, do not over stimulate. Begin with just a few words and signs and then just add a few more gradually.
