I feel it definitely helps to have a sign for the two words in different languages.
B hasn't really signed eat much but was doing so feverishly when he wanted cake at a party today. Motivation is key, hey.
We would love you on the bilingual thread Katy for your expertise. You bilingual mamas should head over too.

Welcome happy.

Just puck a few signs that you will use often like more, finished, eat, bath and milk etc and do them consistently every time you day the word. It may be several months before you get anything back so don't be put off.

Colby signed bath today when he was waiting for us to go upstairs for a bath which was great because I hadn't even used the sign today. He must have remembered it for before. He seemed so excited when I acknowledged I had understood.

Do it happy! Even if you don't get signs for AGES ( we didn't ::) Speech pathologist mummy fail ::) ) its great to support their understanding of what you are saying. Hamish now signs for things that motivate him- like shower, bath, cheese and toilet...

Welcome Happy! :)

I love the 'bath' signing.  I haven't done that one with G, don't know why, but he also gets into the bathroom as quick as possible when he hears the water turn on.  Better get the sign in there! :)

Anybody have some fun ones that their LO has made up?  When I ask G if he wants a yogurt (a frozen tube that he has each night after dinner), he raises his hand.  At first, we laughed and thought he was saying 'yes' he wanted one, but now I've realized it's his sign for yogurt, because I went to get one for C the other day and handed it to her.  Immediately when he saw it, he raised his hand.  C's 'sign' for yogurt was to put her index finger on her nose.  Is that strange that both my kids have made their own sign for yogurt?  I guess I should learn what the real sign is, but we'd never use it, LOL. ;)

Why bother with the right one if you know what he means?

No, I won't bother. Knowing the real one was just for my sake. :)

Hey all! Started with DD2 at 6months and still waiting for a sign back. She's focusing on the hands when I do it...so I know I'll see it eventually. She's 9mths now so here's hoping!

JudyLee, we had signing back much later than we started. DS started like when he was 1y but he has periods he would learn many new of them once and then none for a while.

I am signing airplane for maybe 2 months now as we are going to fly in the mid of Sept. and the other day he did it together with me, so cute. I still don't think he really knows what it means :)

Took us till more like 12 months or so to get anything much consistent- and i'm a speech path- so was signing at him like a lunatic, and doing heaps of strategies to prompt him ::) (Naughty mummy!) BUT- kids will develop as they need to- he started when he as ready! It's been great though as it's really complemented his speech and word vocab.

Audrey is trying to sign SOMETIMES, but sometimes just shouts instead  ::) ::) I guess she is more inclined to just yell if she is tired. The ones we're pretty confident we've seen her attempt are 'more', 'all done', 'potty' and possibly 'drink'. But yeh it's still very far from consistent. She does give me a cuddle when I ask/sign 'cuddles'.
