How do i teach my 6month old sign language?

do i sign and say the word first. for example, bottle. should i sign and say bottle, then give it to him. do i need to keep signing and saying bottle while he's drinking it a few more times? How about teaching change diaper. Do i sign it and say it first, then change him diaper? How about while I am changing him, should i sign itand say it at the same time, and after I change him. thanksHow do i teach my 6month old sign language?
I don't think the order in which you sign or say the word matters as long as you repeat it frequently. Repetition is the most important thing. I have a day care in my home and I know when I'm teaching the kids signs, I just sign it as I say it and then give them the object or do what I have signed. After a few days of signing milk to a child and then giving them the cup of milk, I will wait for them to show me the sign before I give them the cup. If they don't repeat the sign I still give them the item, and I try again the next time the situation comes up.How do i teach my 6month old sign language?
I have a video about baby sign language. Repetition is the key. You can ask if they want their bottle and while saying it sign it. Give him his bottle and say it and sign it. Do the same thing with changing. Talk and sign and anytime you mention changing him make the sign. Whenever talking to your baby, sign whatever words you know as you say them. They eventually catch on. There are different websites that have information that could also help. Just look up baby sign language. My kiddos are 5,4 %26amp; 2 and still use it in their daily activities. If I am on the phone and they know they need to be quiet they will sign for whatever they need. Hope I could help. God bless.How do i teach my 6month old sign language?
Why are you wanting to teach sign to a baby? If some one you know is deaf make sure each time you speak with that friend your child sees you signing. If every time you speak to your child sign at the same time. You sign as you say the words not before or after, but with the words.How do i teach my 6month old sign language?
Whatever works for you, just remember to do it the same way every time- repetition is key, not order- relax.
