I agree that exposing babies to sign language is a positive impact on their language development and doesn't infere with their ability to devolop speech skills.

One thing that I disagree is using voixes while signing because both languages r completely separate from each other so when using both at the same time, one language will become compromised which is usually ASL.

I did that with my daughter and I regret it so with my son, when I sign, I don't use my voice or when I speak to him, I don't sign.
