What shall we read today? Making stories part of your routine

What you need 

  • A selection of books 
  • Time – your baby might have some favourite stories now, and reading might be a regular part of your day. If it isn’t, think about when you could look at a book with your baby. 

 

What to try 

  • Sharing a book together can be a calming part of your bedtime routine.  
  • Read stories when your baby is a bit tired and doesn’t want to play.  
  • When you return from being out, a story might settle your baby back into the home. 
  • A story might be a good way to relax together before making food, or after food, but you’ll find times that work well for your family.
