I was reading about the benefits of reading to your baby as soon as he or she is born. Experts say babies should be read to as newborns because it helps with their educational development. Did or do any of you read to your baby? What do you think about reading to a newborn?

Please exclude: What to expect – Child’s first year. I’m looking for something less dense and to the point. Thanks for you help.

I’m going to the library to get my baby some books… are there any interesting ones you recommend? I get tired of reading her books that are 4 pages long and have no story at all. (Mommy loves you. Daddy loves you. We all love you. The end.) Something nice and rhyming with at least a tiny hint of a story would be great…

Thanks in advance!
