You can read straight away! Read anything! It’s all about hearing your voice, hearing language, rhymes and songs.
As they grow, interactive, sensory and high contrast books are great, then books with more of a story line etc.
Some ideas: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/booklists/b/best-books-for-babies-0-12-months/

I plan on reading anything and everything! I’ve got some classics that my mum read to me, and ones I remember as a kid such as Hungry Caterpillar, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt and Guess How Much I Love You. Then a few extras 😊
But I plan on having LOTS of books in the house. I think it’s so important to start as early as possible!

Read straight away and read anything you want. I did it from the beginning and there’s nothing that lights my baby’s face up like a good book. Totally worth the effort.

thx you so much 🤎

thx you 🤎

thx you for the advice 🤎

thx for letting me know 🤎

Read anything to a newborn it's the sounds they listen to not words. I brought a range of touch and feel books as well as some classics x

You can read from whenever you like! They'll mostly look at you blankly because newborns are kind of just cute potatoes. But that's ok!

Anything Pookie is a hit…really anything Sandra Boynton 🤗 Way before he could understand the words mine liked the rhymes and pictures

inspired 😍🤎

awww ha x

I read every evening to my bump, once I got into bed. It was his most active time of the night so I got a collection of children's books to read. Once he was born I stuck to more colourful and black and white books. He absolutely loves books now and will go and pick them and bring them over for us to read. (he's 15 months )

amazing ! Thx u
