Summary

You've heard about it, read about it, and maybe even seen it featured in a movie. What exactly is this thing called baby sign language? Simply put, baby sign language is a way for parents to communicate with their babies before they can speak by teaching them a few basic gestures or signs. It's a way to bridge the gap between the gurgling stage and the time when babies are actually able to talk. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Baby Signs introduces parents to the 60-80 most common signs non-verbal babies are able to understand and can use to communicate with adults.
