(HealthDay News) -- Reading to your infant can help baby develop a lifelong love for books, and it can help your baby grow intellectually and develop.

The Nemours Foundation mentions these additional benefits of reading to baby:

• It helps baby learn about communication.
• It introduces concepts such as shapes, numbers, letters and colors.
• It helps develop baby's vocabulary, listening and memory skills.
• It helps baby learn more about the world around him or her.
