The average baby is physically able to make the signs when she is around 6 months old but it might be two to three months before she actually signs. However, your baby will understand and respond to your signs long before she can sign herself.

Talking Tots have published the following Review:
“We’ve decided to share with you some of our very favourite toys to help develop communication skills in young children and babies – starting with Bamba’s First Comforts, a baby signing kit that allows you and your baby to learn signing at home.
Made by the award-winning Baby Sign Factory, this kit is absolutely beautifully made and presented in a gorgeous printed box, making it an ideal present for a new Mum. Even better, the kit helps to encourage key early vocabulary by using plush toys to teach basic skills. The adorable Bamba monkey will also encourage imaginative play, and the whole kit is so tactile, we think babies won’t be able to resist getting their hands on it.”

Use the baby signs on the lid of Bamba’s First Comforts
Monday, March 30th, 2009
Remember your baby may make his own version of the gestures – this is fine. Let your baby sign their own gesture and sign the correct sign as per the lid on Bamba’s First Comforts back to him. Just model the correct sign so that your baby can see it again and has another opportunity to copy it.
It’s all about you and your baby having fun together with your new skill.
Several studies have shown that children receive numerous benefits when they learn sign language from an early age. Some of these benefits include: saying those first words earlier and better understanding of spoken language.
