Signing With Your Baby: What is Involved?

By Monica Beyer

Some parents may be hesitant to begin signing with their baby even after hearing all of the wonderful benefits that come from signing with your baby. After all, sign language takes years to learn, doesn't it?
Not at all! Learning to sign with your baby is as easy as reading a recipe.

Teaching sign language isn't a time-consuming chore. Rather, it can be worked into your life as a natural part of communication with your child as well as the rest of your family. Think of it as an extension of speech, and you talk to your baby every day.

You can start as early as six months of age. Remember, though, that babies can take weeks or even months before making their first sign.

No prior knowledge of sign language is required. Many parents learn right along with their children, and it is even possible to make up signs that make sense to you and your baby, rather than worrying about finding and using the "correct" sign.

There are many resources available through the internet as well as your local library. There are also books available that deal specifically with this topic.

Simply choose a sign to begin with and use it when you have your baby's complete attention. For example, use the sign for "milk" before nursing or giving a bottle. Use it consistently, and soon your baby will begin to imitate you.

Most importantly, have fun! Encourage others to join in. Make it a family affair. Make it a game, rather than a burden.

Remember these helpful hints and soon you will be a pro at signing.

Welcome to the Jungle Baby! Take a trip to the newest destination in the Baby Road Trip Video Series: Baby Road Trip JUNGLE

By Anonymous

NEW YORK, NY, January 26 2004--To kick off the new year, Baby Road Trip has released Baby Road Trip JUNGLE, the newest video in the award winning Baby Road Trip Video Series.

Baby Road Trip JUNGLE engages children through sight and sound on an amazing adventure through the jungle. While on the journey, children will discover animals, children at play and captivating real world images. Little ones will be excited to see a friendly puppet friend, Road Trip Ryan as he pops in and out along the way. The originally composed music throughout the video includes Safari symphonies, Jungle foot tapping rhythms and melodic sounds of the wild. Baby Road Trip JUNGLE focuses on word associations as well as a particular learning principle – the wonder of color!

Created by Laura Kronen, founder of the Baby Road Trip Company, Baby Road Trip JUNGLE makes a visit to the Jungle, the journey of a lifetime! “We concentrated on the simple things – the things that make children laugh - and combined those elements with proven educational principles to produce a superior learning tool for today’s child.” Kronen states. “The response that we have been getting has been really phenomenal. We have received positively glowing reviews from psychologists, elementary educators and parents alike. Read the testimonials on the website - they speak volumes!"

"Baby Road Trip was created for parents just as much as it was created for their children," says Kronen. "At Baby Road Trip, we do not believe in using videos as the "ultimate babysitter" for children, instead we encourage parents to watch them with their child. We understand the fine balance between what children love and what parents can tolerate."

A portion of the profits from Baby Road Trip goes to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, in an effort to find a cure in our lifetime.

Baby Road Trip JUNGLE is available on VHS ($14.99 S.R.P) and DVD ($18.99 S.R.P.) and will first be sold through the www.babyroadtrip.com website and www.amazon.com. The Baby Road Trip website also features editorial content focusing on traveling with small children. Baby Road Trip BEACH is also currently available and was released in November 2003.

At Baby Road Trip, we strive to provide adventure, amusement and delight while taking children on musically themed journeys to far away, and sometimes, not so far away places. The Baby Road Trip Video Series was thoughtfully created to nurture cognitive, sensory and emotional developments throughout a child’s first four years.

The big stuff

The VERY first thing you must buy is a CAR SEAT

Crib

As far a bassinet it is up to you remember baby will not use this very long.

I would suggest a good pack n play over a bassinet they often come with attachable bassinet and changing tables.

A swing great for soothing baby when you have been doing it for hours.

Also a bouncy seat is wonderful

Our list of don’t needs

Bottle warmers hot tap water run over a bottle works just as well.

Easy to hold bottles the ones with the hole in the center there are impossible to clean!!!!

A changing table…I changing mat is awesome ! used one all the time to change where ever I happened to be. Far more convenient.

Many of those tiny cute outfits. Buy a few you love for special events and pictures. Babies grow fast these out fits may only fit for a month.

There are many more needs and don’t needs. It is a personal thing for each of us. This is just a general guide.
