Erin replied to Shawn Spivey's discussion Polk Stay-at-Home Dads?"My husband is a stay at home dad :O) He works nights and takes care of our 20 month old daughter during the day while I'm at work. I think he would be interested in meeting up with other dad's in the area for play dates at the park. We…"
Jmarr replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"Both my kids were late talkers, especially my son. With my daughter (preemie), I did the sign language class at Family Fundamentals. She didn't catch on as quickly as the other kids, but did eventually sign...mostly just "more". I…"

Wendi Fellner replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"Yes, we did this when my now 8-year-old was a baby. Definitely made life MUCH easier and less frustrating. I know that some people worry that learning signs will interfere with learning to speak, but once they're ready to start speaking,…"
carla parry replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"Family Fundamentals offered a free baby sign class a while back. My son was 8 months old when we started going, once a week. It was great fun and excellent stimulation for him to learn signs. He really started picking up signs at about 12 months. He…"
Tabby replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"Our son was a preemie and took the longest time (it seemed to us) to talk till we could understand what he wanted. At age 6 mos he started going to therapy for Speech, Physical, and Occupational. The speech therapist had taught both him and us some…"
brooksy replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"We taught our youngest a few basic signs when he was a baby. I was amazed at how quickly he caught on to it!! It really helped.. he was able to tell us if he wanted more of something, if something hurt, thankyou, and many more!! I definitely…"
Dawn Mayo replied to Erin's discussion Sign Language for Infants and Toddlers"I am a teacher for the deaf and I taught both of my hearing children ASL at 3-6 months. It is very possible to do! They picked up on it so quickly, too. I suggest you go to www.asl.com and type in words and watch them sign in it on a video. The book…"
Erin replied to Jmarr's discussion Endoscopy"Bless her little heart. My prayers go out to you and your daughter. After hearing more I really agree that you should have her go through with the endoscopy. It sounds like she has had a horrible time with it, maybe she has a hiatal hernia. That…"

Hi Everyone! I am new to Polkmoms, and looking for some information.I watched 19 and Counting last night and Michelle Duggar mentioned that they teach their infants sign language to help understand what their babies are wanting before they learn how to speak. I think this is such a cool way to communicate with your little ones before they learn how to talk, and my husband and I are going to try and teach our daughter some words after she turns six months old. Have any of you fellow moms out…See More
Erin replied to Jmarr's discussion Endoscopy"I had to have an endoscopy done about 4 years ago. It goes by relatively quickly. I was awake before I realized I fell asleep. The doctor was able to tell me definitively that I had a small hiatal hernia and GERD with erosion, and they put me on…"
Erin replied to Shawn Spivey's discussion COLIC! What Can Help Baby?"My 5 month old daughter started acting colicky around 2 weeks old because she has a lactose sensitivity. We switched her from Similac Advanced to the Soy version, but that was to harsh on her tummy, so we switched to the Sensitive formula and that…"
