I totally agree with reading to babies while they are young. Our son was not interested in my reading as he was ready to explore the world, but around 10 months, he started showing interest in books and now we can’t stop reading them to him.
He LOVES to be read to and loves to open and analyze the books.
So, continue reading to your child REGARDLESS of what looks like the lack of interest.
