Yes: Your baby will enjoy just hearing your voice. You can read aloud your favorite mystery or spy novel while feeding or cuddling with the baby.

Your choice: Reading to an infant is a positive learning experience for baby. They are actually beginning to learn the rhythm and sing son quality of language, and the process increases the inter chances baby will produce reciprocal mouthing or cooing earlier.

Yes, but it doesn't : Matter if you read the newspaper, a novel or a children's book till she can focus on pictures in a hard-paged baby book at 3-4 months. In behavioral terms, if you read & cuddle , you pair the two activities in a positive way. Use as part of a consistent bedtime routine, then wipe out her mouth after the last feed & put her to sleep in her own bed on her back, drowsy but awake. Yep, this early.

Yes: Absolutely! infants at any age benefit from the bonding and soothing voice of mom. And it is all about making those connections in the brain.
