In this episode, we explore the benefits of reading to your baby from an early age. It's not just about stories—reading fosters bonding, promotes speech development, and helps build early literacy skills that will last a lifetime.

We offer practical tips for making reading a fun and regular part of your routine, even if you're not confident reading aloud. Discover what types of books are best for babies, how to incorporate reading into your daily schedule, and why visiting your local library can be a game-changer. Join us as we delve into the joy and importance of sharing books with your little one.
