What do you do:
Sit with the baby and explore the book together. You do not need to read every word. Point to pictures, make sounds, and let him touch the pages. For example: “Dog. Woof woof,” “That’s fluffy,” or “Where’s baby?” Let him grab, pat, and explore the book as much as he wants.
What's Needed:
Fabric book
Touch-and-feel baby book
High-contrast or simple picture book
Soft mat
How to Adapt
If sitting doesn’t work, use the book during tummy time. If he loses interest quickly, explore only one or two pages rather than attempting to finish the book.
