Milk Mama!

by John
(Pensacola, FL USA)

My wife and I learned about the possibility of teaching your baby sign language early in her third trimester of our first son. To admit, we were a little skeptical at first. We checked out a book at our local public library to study on it.

When our son was a couple months old, we started out by showing him the sign for milk right before he was going to be breast-fed. Before long, he'd grunt or squeal and hold up the milk sign every time he was hungry.

We taught him several other signs after this, with his favorite combination being "milk mama". He is now three and still uses signs to talk to us in situations where he needs to be quiet or is too embarrassed to say them out loud.

How cute!

What a great story! "Milk Mama" sounds so adorable :) Thank you so much for sharing! I just think it's so amazing when a baby is able to communicate what they want. So much less frustration! :) And it sounds like he still enjoys being able to sign even though he is now able to talk! How fun! :)
