I have read a lot about baby sign language, but have never seen anyone that was using it. I really like the idea, but does it really work? could it hinder the development of speech?  If it did, maybe only

for a short period and most parents might not know the difference. If there has been anyone that has noticed a significant delay, I have not read about it or heard about it anywhere as of yet.  You can read the rest of my thoughts here at Baby Sign Language.
