I had bought the book "on the night you were born" the day I went into labor... I wanted to read it to him that first night, but I was so sick that we didn't do that... And I still haven't read to him yet. Am I a slacker mommy?

Re: S/o when did you start reading to LO?
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
We started way early but mostly just as a way to do something with all the kids... J and S read to Henry. I read to Henry and J. S reads to J. S reads me things she writes, etc.
We're huge book nerds so it's just part of our life.
However at less than 2 weeks old of course you're not a slacker!!!

I looooove that book. Katen likes the part where she wiggles her toes.
We've been reading "at" them since birth. It took a while until they sat and listened to a book though. Ana is much more laid back and will sit but Katen was close to a year old before she'd sit through even a short book.
I have been reading to E since he was 6 weeks old. We read 10 or 12 books a day. It is never too soon or too late to start!
Some infants just dont want to sit, others do. You;ll know!
Haha No. We didn't start reading until they were about 5 months old. They went through a phase where they wouldn't sit for a book no matter what we did. We would put the book away and they'd come back and say 'ree' we'd tell them if they sat, we'd read. It took awhile but now they bring us book after book to readand they sit for the whole book.

We weren't good at reading to him - well we tried when he was 1m old but not than a month. I think boys are kinda worse for reading. DS would eat the books until after 12m and honestly he still rips the pages (on real books).
he flips through on his own or sometimes lets us read to him.
This! I'm so happy to hear I'm not the only one. She really does love to look at books and will sit on my lap and point at something but once I start to describe anything, she's on to the next page. And half the time she "reads" upside down anyway ; )
