Using baby sign language is a great way to communicate with your baby before they can talk! Understanding what your baby wants can make parenting so much easier. On a recent episode of the Healthy Children podcast, Dr. Jennifer Shu, pediatrician and Medical Editor of HealthyChildren.org, recommends teaching your baby the signs for common phrases like “more,” “please” and “thank you” around six to nine months of age. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

WORLD PREMATURITY AWARENESS DAY!!

17/11/2025

Every preemie’s sensory journey is unique, and understanding it is key to helping them thrive.
