Prescription from Pediatricians: Read to your baby q.d.  


We writers know reading is, well, as they say, fundamental. But now the American Academy of Pediatrics is supporting what many mothers have been doing for years. Decades? Probably centuries.   The AAP is backing the practice of reading to infants.


The new policy recommends pediatricians and policy makers promote reading to babies. Why didn't we think of that? Oh yeah, we did. 

But I'm happy, this policy is making the news. Seriously, pediatricians have been working on making this a policy  for years. Now it's official. Kudos to the medical community!
