We read to LO a few times before she was born...I thought that was a little silly but I still enjoyed it. We started reading the first week at home.

I've read to him already, and he's not here yet! I will probably read to him from a very early age, even though he won't understand.

i didnt start til DS was 3 months or so.

I think we started around 3 months

i read to LO since the day we came home from the hospital, although i agree that it feels pretty silly, even at 9 weeks old. for now, it's one of the things to do while i'm keeping him upright after a feeding. it also gives me something to say besides "hi, are you going to poop?"

Since week 1! It's never consistent and not every night still (4 months), but he loves it when we do and stares at the pictures and responds back to us too! We have to make more time for it as part of the nighttime routine... but sometimes he just wants the boob post-bath!

We've been reading to LO since he was born. in the really early days we were just reading whatever book we were reading or the newspaper to him so he could hear our voices more.... We started reading kid books to him around 2 months old - so we still read those, and sometimes my husband still reads the paper to him, ha.... but he's definitely more interested in the kid books now to look at the pictures & listen to the rhythms.

When she was a few days old!

I started reading to her at 8 weeks when she was relaxing in the bath, it was perfect time for her to focus on the pictures. Now at almost 6 months we reaad all the time, at bath, at bed, when we are out and about.

we made it part of her bedtime routine consistenly at around 10 weeks. At first I would sit her up on my lap and she was SUPER uninterested ... then I saw Mrs. Tricycle's post where her lo and dh were reading on their backs with the book above them ..... I tried it that way and she LOVED it. She is super focused on the pictures and coos and kicks her legs. It's seriously become my favorite thing to do with her. {She LOVES "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" and "Eating the Alphabet" ... I think because the colors are so vivid against the white background}

From birth...he reads to me now.

We started as soon as we brought LO home. I didn't always read him baby/picture books, though. During the newborn stage, I figured it was more about hearing the sounds of English, so he heard a lot of the newspaper and whatever book I was reading, too. I mostly read those things to him while nursing.

We started reading to DS when he was in the womb. We read to him everynight as part of the bedtime routine.

I also started from birth. He doesn't focus and sometimes I stop when he really doesn't seem into I, but he still hears the language which I think is huge. I actually am thinking about starting to read an adult book out loud so I'm still reading for me. I think I read someone else doing that.
