In my own opinion, I think it might make them too lazy to speak if you give them the sign language option. what do you think moms?
I don't feel the need for sign language, my baby's cues and babbles are pretty easy to read. I think as long as we are truly connected to our babies and really know them we can skip sign language. I have quite a few moms talking me into sign language so I just wanna find out if most of you moms out there do it?

My mother-in-law is a speach and language pathologist. We talked alot about baby sign language. I asked her the smae question about making the child lazy. She said language development could be compared to learning to walk. Just because your baby learns to crawl before he learns to walk doesn't mean he is not going to want to progress to the walking. Same with language. The signs is like crawling and gives the child an extra tool to express himself. She said ti actually encourages talking. I got a baby sign language kit for my baby shower and am really excited about it!
