Read-aloud from day one

๐งบ You need
any book โ rhythm matters more than content at this age
โจ How
Hold baby against you and read a few pages aloud daily โ a board book, a poem, even your novel. Let them hear the rhythm and feel your chest hum. Stop when attention fades; thirty seconds still counts.
๐ Why this matters
The AAP recommends reading aloud from birth: it concentrates language exposure, pairs words with closeness and calm, and builds a daily ritual that compounds for years. At 0โ3 months the payload is prosody + bonding, not plot.
