Benefits of Bedtime Stories for Newborns
Reading stories to your newborn is a simple way to help them get familiar with the sounds of words. And it is the first step to learning how to talk.
It’s also a special time for you to bond, as the calm and loving moments you share can make your newborn feel safe and loved.
Plus, making storytime a regular part of bedtime helps your little one know that it’s time to sleep, helping them settle down for the night.
Choosing Stories for Newborns
Simplicity is Key: Look for books with simple, high-contrast images and repetitive, gentle text.
Lullabies and Rhymes: Rhyming stories and lullabies are excellent for newborns, offering soothing rhythms that mimic the comfort of the womb.
Soft Sensory Books: Fabric books with different textures are wonderful for newborns to experience during storytime, even if they’re more for touching than reading.
Tips for Newborn Bedtime Reading
Soft, Gentle Voice: Use a soft and gentle tone to calm your newborn, making the experience reassuring and cozy.
Regular Timing: Try to read at the same time each evening to help establish a predictable routine.
Cuddle Time: Hold your newborn close during storytime to reinforce security and warmth.
Remember, the goal of bedtime stories at this stage isn’t about teaching or development; it’s about the closeness and the calming, loving voice that your newborn will come to associate with comfort and sleep.
