Do you or have you read to your newborn?

Question

I am do in about two weeks and I have already bought a collection of Board books I think they are called Disney's first baby book. THe are in English and Spansih. I wants to read them to my baby....Is that silly? I heard TV was bad for kids under 2 so I figured I'd read to him from when he's born untill he's about two then introduce TV (still reading of course though)

What do you think?

Answer 1

absoloutly its adviced to do so, stimulating them help them develop earlier

Answer 2

Absolutely read to him!!!

I read to my son in the womb, and after he was born...

It is so important to instill that in your baby!

Start early it can only help!

CONGRATS!!

Answer 3

I read to my kids as newborns and ever since. Any communication is beneficial to a baby/child. Reading is a great way for them to learn.

Answer 4

My daughter is almost 7 months old.  She is climbing all over the place and loves to be moving around, so she doesn't really have the attention span to sit there while I read her a book.  She'd rather grab it and eat it.  However she loves cartoons, she'll just sit in my lap and watch them.  She gets excited and jumps in my lap.  I really don't think they are harmful for your child.  Now,  if all your child does is watch tv, then that's bad, but a little here and there will do no harm.
