Starting Young

Good afternoon friends, my spouse and I are having a baby and I desperately want to introduce Japanese very early into the little child’s life. Are there any places I can get children’s books with names of body parts/animals/other things and what children’s shows are recommended to show them just to get used to the sounds of the language?

I have a kana board and plan to go through that repetitiously with the baby when the time comes. Of course, I will be reading to the child and talking in Japanese with them to bring that exposure too but was just curious for supplemental suggestions. Thank you!
