Every smile, wave, point or attempt at a sign is a step in your baby's communication journey. Communication doesn't begin with first words, it starts much earlier through shared moments, gestures and interaction. Read our recent blog post signalongforbabies.org.uk/po…

Bedtime is a familiar part of every baby's daily routine. Using the same sign each evening alongside your words can help your baby begin to recognise that it's time to wind down, creating a consistent and reassuring routine. #Bedtime #SignalongSigns #SignalongForBabies #Signs

Babies are constantly learning about the world around them, developing the skills they need for communication, learning, and social interaction. Two of the most important foundations for this development are listening and attention skills. signalongforbabies.org.uk/po… #BabySigning

Nursery rhymes are a fantastic way to support your baby's communication, language development and listening skills. When we add signs to familiar songs and rhymes, babies have even more opportunities to understand and join in. shop.signalong.org.uk/produc… #BabySigning

Did you know babies can often use signs before they can speak? The muscles needed for hand movements develop earlier than those needed for speech. Signing gives babies a way to communicate their needs, thoughts, and feelings while their spoken language is still developing.

Just like spoken language, babies need lots of opportunities to see, hear and experience a sign before they feel ready to use it themselves. Keep signing during everyday routines: Milk time, Mealtimes, Story time, Bath time #BabyDevelopment #SpeechDevelopment #BabySigning
