Bedtime Stories

At what age did you introduce bedtime stories to the bedtime routine? DS is almost three months old and we’ve been given some lovely new books which he is, of course, far too young to understand at the moment. However, I’d love to share them with him when he’s older as part of his routine, which currently consists of a bath and a bottle. Any responses will be helpful, thank you.

We did it from the day 2.
At first it was in the NICU, we read her a story before we left for the night. Then when we came home we read to her during her last bottle at 10pm. It just naturally developed to the last thing we did before saying goodnight.

I don't remember exactly, but it was early on, once we started a regular routine - just something simple, doesn't matter if it's not understood.

I think familiarising kids with books early in general - from those black and white board things upwards - is really important to get them interested in stories and listening.
