ASK THE EXPERT: 🤓Age-by-Age Guide Reading to Your Baby (From Womb to School Age!)🤰🏻🤱🏻📚

Babies start enjoying books as early as a few months old. From around 3 to 6 months, they're captivated by colorful images and the sound of your voice. As they approach 6 to 12 months, they might want to touch and explore the books. Babies enjoy interactive books with textures, lift-the-flap features, and simple, repetitive stories. Reading together nurtures bonding, language skills, and cognitive development. Remember, it's less about their age and more about their developmental stage and individual preferences. Keep it fun and engaging to foster a lifelong love for reading.
