1. Read-aloud Basics for Newborns


WHO? 
You and Baby

WHAT? 
Your favorite picture book, nursery rhymes, black and white books, board books with bling

WHEN?
Morning, noon, or night when baby is quiet and alert, not hungry, tired, or wet

WHERE?
A quiet place

WHY? 
Read-aloud is fun and fosters a relationship between you and baby, and baby and books.

How long?
Likely you'll read in micro spurts. Consider closing the book if baby fusses, stiffens, looks away, starts hiccuping, or shuts her eyes. These can be signs of over-stimulation.
