I use more after he comes off the breast, before putting him on the other side and when I am spoon feeding him, I stop between mouthfuls & sign more then give him another spoonful. Once he starts finger foods I will use it when he has finished whatever he is eating then give him more.

I pretty much do the same for finish. Once his food is all gone I say/sign finish. Also after we finish playing on his mat I say/sign finish. Just look up the signs on the Auslan link.


The main ones I start with are Milk, Finish, More, Bed & Bath. I also teach mummy & daddy on occaisions. I will then introduce food eg biscuit, animals & colours when he's a little bigger.

I also sign songs. Twinkle twinkle little star is a favourite plus I sign an ammended version of Mary Had a Little Lamb, it's fleece was white as snow. It goes like this Byron Was A Little Man his hair is white a snow (etc) I sign the main words of this - eg Byron little man, hair white snow (of course I sing all the words). This actually is how the deaf communicate. They only sign the main words.

Hope that helps some what
