Bedtime books for 4 month old baby

My little boy is very punctual. 4 months today and has hit the sleep regression this week 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫.

I think I need to stop feeding to sleep now at bedtime before it gets really bad. We have a decent enough bedtime routine (would like it to be earlier but I have two other children who are older and needier lol). The end of the bedtime routine is a feed and he falls asleep or almost asleep on the breast every night. I want to replace that part with a little story, or try to. Any recommendations for amazing bedtime books for that 4 month age that are very soothing, not too exciting? Thank you.

You're 4 month old just likes listening to your voice. You could read out loud a newspaper article or celeb magazine piece and have the same effect at this age.

So I wouldn't over think the choice of book. If you want to read a good book, then do just that - read a chapter or 2 of Harry Potter, or any other novel you enjoy. The actual story is not relevent to the baby, so make it something you will enjoy reading yourself.

Not sure about book, but what about singing a lullaby?
