Non-native french speaker here: reading my 5 month-old books in french won't negatively affect or slow her language development will it?

Bilingualism does: not cause receptive or expressive delays. A typical child may learn one language more rapidly & may mix words from each. Age 0-5 is optimal for learning a language's phonemes, or smallest units of sound, so (s)he can learn incorrect phonemes with prolonged exposure. Mixed/expressive language disorder, Autistic Spectrum Disorder or Global Developmental Delays require that one language be taught.

No: Let me interpret what Dr Fricke wrote. Your baby will be fine and can pick up French easier when offered this early.A little confusion over words is normal. She can actually learn to speak it with the tones and quality of a native French speaker.
