Reading with babies is more than just cute it supports language, bonding, sensory development, and forming a love for books early. Interactive or tactile books give sensory stimulation (touch, feel) which is great for development. Board books and high-contrast visuals help babies who are still developing their vision and attention. Shared reading time creates a connection, calmness (especially at bedtime), and builds vocabulary over time. Reading books together will create warm memories for you and with development.
