Reading to baby

yogimama

It's been said that you should read to your baby, even in the womb. Do you read to your baby? What did you read and how often? I was also thinking this might be a good activity for siblings and the father to do to help create a bond with the baby. What do you think?

We've begun reading to the baby all together so she recognizes all of our voices. We try to do it every night. We also read a very short, easy, entertaining book, the same one every night. I read somewhere that repetition makes the baby more likely to remember our voices and associate it with a memory. Did you know babies can have memories? I wonder what makes it so that we don't remember being babies?

I knew babies could recognize voices from the womb, which I guess is technically a memory, but I didn't know they could remember words. How cool!
