Who's tried it and what do you think of it? Is it something you can learn
to do effectively on your own or do you recommend taking a 'workshop.'

TIA.


You can learn basic ASL signs in isolation pretty well from a video or a
book (easier from a video), and since baby signs is just isolated words, not
the structure, it should be sufficient.

I would suggest using real ASL signs rather than made up baby signs-I've
looked in some of the baby signs books which use created signs, and some of
them teach signs which are very close to being offensive or obscene in
ASL-which might not be good if you use them to your child in public!
