To re-phrase an old saying, “When baby ain’t sleepin’, ain’t nobody sleepin’!” Desperate parents will go to any and all lengths to get their baby to sleep. We’d like to suggest that one of the best ways to get your baby to sleep is to sing – a lullaby, that is. And no, your voice doesn’t have to be stage-perfect, because to your baby, your voice is the most beautiful sound there is. Besides that, who else is going to hear you singing softly at 2 a.m.?!
Lullabies for Babies
As your baby learns to fall asleep on his own, you might choose to let him fall asleep to some gentle lullaby recordings. Here are a few of our favorite suggestions:
You Are My Sunshine by Kindermusik International – available at Amazon or play.Kindermusik.com
Violin Lullabies, a new release by violinist Rachel Barton Pine
Flying Dreams, a harp and flute recording by Emily Mitchell and James Galway
Create a Playlist
If you’re a Kindermusik family, you know that your Kindermusik music always includes some gentle listening music as well as lullabies. You might choose to create a playlist of all of your favorite Kindermusik lullabies and rocking songs so that it’s ready at the touch of a button – in the car, before a nap… or when you’re too tired to remember the words in the middle of the night!

Greetings,
Yes, I couldn’t agree more that it is so very important to play the lullabies for the youngest amongst us. I’d like to suggest that you take a listen to the work by Amy Robbins-Wilson, known as the lullaby lady. Her latest is entitled Lullaby and Goodnight 33 Lullabies for Babies available on Amazon. Perhaps you will add it to your list above.
Thanks
