This is not a bad post per se though there are several inaccuracies in it. I think of it as a good place to start a dialog about ASL and our little ones...
Bad Parent: Use Your Words — Please! I regret teaching my child sign language.
Of course, her son does not have delayed speaking because of teaching him sign language. And, I do think he understands what more means (though it may have multiple meanings for him). The comments for the article are also a good spot to get a more "balanced" view of ASL and babies.
I did have to laugh a little as M has started to sign eat to only mean that she wants "Mommy's milk." She used to sign eat and milk but that has been shortened to just eat and I do have days where I get tired of being greeted after a long day with eat, eat, eat!
