Summary: Works, but...
Comment: In short, this system does work and it is fun, as well.
There are several caveats, though:
1) In our case, our son began speaking so early that by the time he was ready to sign, he could say most of the words anyway.
2) Parents must be ultra-digilent in keeping up signing or else things will lapse, not only with the child, but more importantly, with the parents.
3) Kids often "contract" the signs. They know what they are signing, but since it doesn't always resemble what the parent taught or the book illustrates, it can be as frustrating as trying to understand what a young child is verbalizing/speaking.
4) It's a limited resource in that all the included signs are American Sign Language (ASL) and, therefore, more comprehensive ASL books are available. If you would like to teach your child more ASL as they grow (for use as a second language, for instance), you would be better off simply buying one of the several excellent ASL reference books available for about the same price as this one. Then select the signs you wish to use with your child, introducing them gradually, and you'll accomplish everything this book has to offer while also having further room to learn and grow.

Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: I began teaching my son to sign at age 7 months. He learned very quickly and was communicating extensively in a couple of months. (For example, around 9 months old, he awoke in the middle of the night, which was unusual for him, and signed that he wanted to eat rice cereal and apples.) Signing lowered his frustration levels significantly. Plus it is so much fun for the whole family to communicate with him. His speech also developed very quickly, and at 19 months he is using sentences. I highly recommend this book. It is written in an easy to read and understand format.

Summary: Love this book!!!
Comment: Before my son was born I began to look at different baby sign books. I picked up two books, Sign with your Baby and another. I found Sign with your Baby very easy to use. I returned the other baby sign book and bought a second copy of Mr. Garcia's book (and the video) for my mother/Tyler's caregiver. Joseph Garcia gives excellent reasoning backed up with research for you should sign with your baby, and when you should start, what signs are best to begin with, when and how to introduce new signs, and so much more without inundating you with too much information. I buy this book for everyone I know who has a baby.
