what does it mean when a toddler who does baby sign language does a pinching sign with her index finger and thumb "starts with a p " i think but since she dont speak correctly i dont know hwat it is
it on the chin though her hand is on her chin while she does the signing

that is sign language for bird

Baby sign language seems to be very basic. Any kind of hand signals toward the mouth probably means eating or drinking or even a pacifier. For example my baby makes a rubbing motion on the side of his face to brush his teeth. My wife and I actually teach or kids sign language by saying the words and showing the motion.
