It’s never too early. I do not have children, but we read tales to my niece when she was just couple weeks ancient- she loved the bonding, and started reading and writing when she turned 3.
The earlier you start, the better. Kudos to you for reading.

never too early, it starts out just being the sound of your voice in a gentle tone.

I started reading when my oldest was still in my womb. I haven’t stopped since. When my oldest was groundbreaking new I’d hold him in the rocking chair and read out loud from one of my own novels. He didn’t know the difference. He’d just sit and stare at me.

Both of my boys Like books! And I’m pregnant with the third. He gets read to every night while I’m reading to the other two.

That’s wonderful that you are reading to your 5 week ancient. Continue with that and you are sure to instill a like of books in him. I read to my daughter (now 2-1/2) while she was still in the womb and she Likes reading now. She’s even beginning to learn to read at a very young age. Plus, reading books is a fantastic way to bond with your child. It also helps them to associate your voice with pleasant times. What a wonderful mother you are!!!

We started reading to our kid the day we brought her home.

She didn’t know what a TV was until she was in kindergarten

She was reading fluently at 4.

Hide your television.

I reckon your doing a fantastic thing and that’s reading to your child keep it up most people now just plonk there children in front of the TV. I’ve been a nanny for many years and I’ve always found that you have a special time when you read to a child how ever small and as baby grows it’ll broaden his/hers imagination which so many children don’t have any more. your not mad your fantastic it’s never to early to pick up a book Plus it’s fantastic to have a tale just b4 you go to bed.
