DS has learned the sign for "more", and it has made mealtime less stressful since we can figure out what he wants. We're working on "all done" and "please" in relation to meal time as well.
What signs have you found to be most helpful?

"More" and "all done", but he'll sign and say the words now!

"Milk" and "Food/Eat" are the most used ones here. We taught "more" but she has replaced it with just signing "food/eat" when we ask if she wants more food, or pointing to what she wants. I have tried teaching all done but she doesn't care to repeat it, she just signs "up" to get picked up out of the chair or cleans hear tray with a wipe/her bib when she is finished instead. I am trying to get her to sign "change" or "diaper" but she hasn't picked it up yet

We did more, all done, please, and help.
Please helped a lot because she would point to something and then sign please. I remember before she was talking thinking "Man, she says 0 words yet we communicate so well!" We almost always knew what she wanted through gestures.

We did more, all done, milk, drink, please, and thank you mostly. I've actually really loved that we did please and thank you as she picked up on their use very quickly and almost always says please and thank you now when asking for something/receiving something.

More, all done, please, thank you, eat, drink, milk, water.
That was pretty much our shared sign vocabulary and it was sooo helpful!! They were used at daycare too so LO had lots of reinforcement.
