Books are one’s best friend and the early we inculcate this habit, the better it is for the child.
Reading, while pregnant not only increases the knowledge but also helps in making the bond between the mother and the baby stronger. It also triggers better concentration, and a good attention span, distressing the mother of her tensions, resulting in a smarter baby.
