I started learning it with Vee only in my late 20's. :) We use UK English at home; I'm not aware of UK sign language materials though, so we use the US version. Since we're using it only at home, it's fine for us. For some words, we even make up our own signs, which is encouraged by the Baby Signs guide book. My objective is to allow my boy to communicate his needs to me, so as long as we can understand each other, I'm happy. If you forsee your girl's need to use sign language over a longer period, then how about seeking help from professionals specialising in children's speech? In the meantime, you can still teach your girl a few basic signs. Young children learn very quickly, so if you need to replace the sign later on, they should be able to pick it up too.

We LOVE IT!!! LOVE the songs. love the signs and we are big fan of Rachel. (Her personal testimony is inspirational!!) Net started signing at 9 months her first sign was "more" then "milk" now she can sign over 30 words and have a vocab of over 20 words. She is able to incorporate two words too at 13 mths now. If she wants milk, she will say "mama, milk" or if she wants ball , "ball pish (please)" We are so glad we found BST, Net has definitely learnt a lot from it! We use Baby Signing Times too!!!
