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.
