We've been signing to dd for a couple of months, she is now 8mo. Not had any signs back yet but she definately understands them, opens her mouth like a fish when we make the food sign! We're hoping that once she gets a bit more dextrous (she's not waving or clapping yet) we'll see a few signs.
What are other people's experiences? Did you introduce a few signs at a time? (we're just doing milk and food) Or go for lots? How long did it take before your baby made signs back to you?
She goes to nursery 3 days per week and the staff don't sign to her, despite me asking several times! Do you think this will delay her use of signs??
