About this listen

Your baby might not be able to say “I’m hungry” or “I’m full” — but with baby sign language, they can tell you. And that changes everything.

This episode is your gentle, doula-style guide to using simple signs during baby-led weaning. Not to impress. Not to overwhelm. But to connect — and to make mealtimes smoother, calmer, and way more communicative.

You’ll learn:

  • Why baby sign is such a game-changer during BLW
  • How signing can reduce frustration for you and your baby
  • Why signing doesn’t delay speech (spoiler: it can actually help!)
  • My favorite 5 signs to start with (and how to do them)
  • How to begin even if you’re busy, unsure, or totally new to sign

You don’t need to do it perfectly. You just need to begin. One sign, one bite, one moment of connection at a time. 💛
