What books should one read to her unborn baby?

Answer 1

Community Answer 1

Any children or baby books that will be read to them when they are born. Or just say anything to them all the time. Sing, talk, read. The fetus can sense the mothers voice. You can sing or talk to your baby.

I am Sam I do not like Green Eggs and Ham: By Dr. Seuss

Answer 2

Yes, you should read. Or talk. Or sing. Your baby's ears can hear you in utero, and they will recognize you by your voice after their birth. Talk as much as you can to it and you will bond faster.

Answer 3

Studies suggest that babies at a certain stage of the pregnancy can hear nearly everything that goes on outside the womb and that they may be able to recognise the voice of their mother before they are even born. This is a great way to bond with the child before birth.
