She loves looking though the books and cleaning them off of the table too 🙂

Reading to bitty babies may seem pointless, but there are several great things about reading to the tiny ones! It lets them have your full attention and hear the sound of the voice that they love, which can sooth them. It helps them learn the love of books, reading, and learning. Encourages them to learn how to hold books and turn pages. Exposes them to rhyme and other language development. Reading is a great life long skill that you can start now with your little one.

Here are a few of our favorite books for new babies…

Where is Monkey? by Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz

As a family we are reading the Tuttle Twins series before bed at night.

Baby Book List (0-3 months)

Use high contrast images to stimulate your infants vision and help with their vision development. High contrast photos with contrasting patterns and images are easier for infants to focus on.
