think some say before can start as early as 3 months & when you read stories to them, make sure when you read your tone must have high & low pitch (something like that)... cuz if you read to him in the same tone thru'out, he won't kinda learn anything...

I started to read when she was ard 4 or 5 months. Board books, cloth books and her sister's books. Or more like I get her sis to read to her.
But dd#2 at 7.5 months, would not sit still to let me read to her, she would not look at the pixs either. A bit frustrating ... but I just continue to read.
Just continue to read....
That is all I can say...cos with her sister, I also did the same thing.
I read, she crawled, she ate her toys... I just read.

i have been reading to him since he was a little bean size fetus in me
tink is a good habit to cultivate....age does not matter....it is e bonding for parents n children....when older then it is for their knowledge

N I tink the best time is to read to ur bb in the morning jux after breakfast, it is the time when they r most the most fresh n yet not so noti state. Coz for my DD, this is the only time she can sit still for 10 to 15 min n listen to my stories.. But my maid lets her listen to nursery rhymes everyday in the afternnon afetr her nap.. By the way, I started singing rhymes to her the moment she was born n now, i haf to sing everynite till she falls asleep (which sometimes might take 1 to 2 hr).. Sigh.... Really not ez to be a mum..:nah:

haha... dun worry.. my dad even tells chinese historical story to my bb when he is carrying her while i am busying preparing bb's stuff....
look who is kiasu here!haha... but really, no harm reading to bb earlier, noi matter they understand or not.. at least they got the chance to listen to our voice.. for bonding and language development

Hi! Its never too young to start.. If anything, if you start early, your child will actually start learning that much faster. Even if they do not understand a word that you're saying, just read or sing to them. Cookie 168 is right about it contributing to language development. It is tried, tested and proven! Definitely beats having them stare at the television screen.
