On weekends and when I'm home with her I also try to read to her during the day too. She loves books and loves to help turn the pages! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354985 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:04:19 +0000 Andrea 354985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Random times throughout the day and always at bedtime. I think it's easiest to incorporate a story or two right before bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354966 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:55:35 +0000 heffalump 354966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a sahm so I read to my lo a lot during the day. We actually don't do bedtime books because by bedtime she's so so tired she just wants her sippy and then off to sleep. </p> <p>I used to make it a point to read at least three books a day, but now lo is 15 months and loves books. If she sees a book she'll pick it up and bring it over for me to read to her. She doesn't have the attention span for me to actually finish it..... but I'm reading a million books a day so I'm not worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354856 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:03:55 +0000 sarac 354856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A short bedtime book every day. Then for a while it was just when I could stand it, because honestly I hate reading aloud. Now 50 times a day, because she keeps bringing them to me! I don't love it, but she does, and it's good for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354738 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:31:38 +0000 luckypenny 354738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>random times during the day. she LOVES books and I think it would get too excited before bedtime . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354724 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:22:51 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 354724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has changed so many times! Currently it's one before bed, and several on the potty, plus at random times during the day if he brings us a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354719 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:20:41 +0000 Mrs. Bee 354719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for olive, before her naps i read at least 3 books.</p> <p>charlie is soooo into reading these days, we often read books in the middle of the day. he asks us to read to him, sometimes the same book over and over again. and then also before bed every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354712 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:14:30 +0000 Ree723 354712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every afternoon, around 3:30 - 4:00. It's late enough in the day where we're usually home but early enough that it doesn't interfere with bed time. When she gets older, we'll start doing bed time stories, but for now, they're an excitement inducing, active part of her play, so we keep them for waking hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354704 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:07:32 +0000 Sammyfab 354704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read before every naptime. It's part of our nap routine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354636 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:26:10 +0000 pinkcupcake 354636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just randomly. I tried to incorporate a bedtime book but it made her bedtime routine too long and she got cranky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354633 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:25:16 +0000 HLK208 354633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before naps and before bed time, in our oversized rocking chair so I can hold them both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354622 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:21:11 +0000 Mrs Checkers 354622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also randomly during the day and always before bedtime. </p> <p>Maybe you could incorporate 1 book before bed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354616 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:17:11 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 354616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We read to Toddler Girl at bedtime and naptime. Also whenever she brings us books, which goes in stages. Wonder Baby isn't getting nearly as much book time right now because she's always exhausted by sleep time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354610 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:13:56 +0000 autumnlove 354610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read to my LO before dinner during the week and throughout the day on weekends.</p> <p>She is 9 months already?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354588 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:52:17 +0000 Honeybee 354588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day while DS is taking his morning nap (around 8-10 ish) DD and I have "circle time"; we read books, sing songs, play games, etc... We also read books all together as a family before naps, before bed, and after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354584 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:50:14 +0000 chopsuey 354584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Random times during the day and before bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-read-to-your-lo#post-354563 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:41:36 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 354563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Confession: I'm not a big reader... never have been (even though my parents read to me every night)</p> <p>DD is now 9 months old and I really want to make an effort to introduce her to books and reading, but I feel like there's no time unless it's on the weekends. </p> <p>When do you read to your LO? </p>
