Baby sign for milk?

Question

We are wanting to use baby sign language with our little one, but I am struggling to figure out a good sign to use for milk. I do not want him gesturing to me like a cows udders when he wants to eat, and at his age he lacks the dexterity to really sign milk correctly anyway. 
If you did baby signing with breastfeeding, what sign did you use?

Answer

We just use the standard sign for milk. It’s like opening and closing a fist. I think just like body parts, it’s best to teach them the real “terms” and not make something up that only you and baby understand. It will be a while until baby can actually do the sign themselves. My daughter is 7 1/2 months and still doesn’t actually make the sign but she knows what it means if I do it because she gets excited and starts leaning towards my chest

Answer

Teach eat or drink sign instead

Answer

I mean, when teaching my son sign language (he’s nonverbal) and trying to get him to sign milk, we just went for the open, close hand - kind of like a sideways wave. It is similar to the actual sign, but seemed to be easier for him.
