MRSMAC No, the baby sign book does not use Auslan. She has just made up her own signs. Auslan is the Australian sign language. There USE TO BE different signs in different states, that's why Auslan was created. As I grew up in NSW, I do still sign some of the OLD WAY. I educate myself on the Auslan & say that I do sign mostly Auslan, the deaf people, when I sign to them, still understand me anyway. Sign is different in different countries, just like the language is. I guess one day there may be a world wide one.
BECKOES If you've started, stick with it for sure. I think you're still a couple of months away, but your DD will start responding all of a sudden. It will seem like it happend just overnight.
I just wanted to add that I would start teaching with about 4 or 5 signs that you do religiously, then also a few that you do when you think of it. Eventually once your LO is repsonding, you can start teaching colours & other things
