Subject: "baby sign"

I am interested in sources that discuss "baby sign". I am not talking about
infants that are learning ASL or some other established sign language but
self-invented signs (or collaborative signs created in the context of
significant relationships). I am not necessarily talking about
hearing-impaired or speech-impaired children either.
Thanks for any help. Will post results if there is interest.
