As an actual advice, teaching my kids baby sign language really helped with communicating before they learned to say words properly.
Taught all my boys sign language, the shocked looks from other parent's at play group when the 8mo asks to open a container or for a nappy change.
Very useful skill, but 10 years later they never shut up....
Lol same with my boys. In fact they're using sign I never taught them.
Unlocking communication early really helps. If baby can communicate their needs, they will be less frustrated.
My son only used 3 signs actively, but it let him say that he wants water, or stop an activity, or that he wants more.
๐๐ was his favourite, he used it to say "again" or "more" or as a general call to action. He was very happy that it worked. It was hilarious when i checked in my suitcase at the airport, saw it ride away on the belt, looked and me and showed ๐๐ to do it again.
He also combined gestures with words later like "๐คทโโ๏ธ is" meaning there isn't, or it's gone.
I felt it was a lot of investment for just a handful of months of gains, so we didnโt buy the daycare tried. I still barely saw the use
