Lullabies. Always something I figured we’d just sing to our baby.
We had our nighttime routine. Bath, brush gums/teeth, diaper, pjs, nurse & rock to sleep while humming and singing the same 3 lullabies that came to mind.
And it was sweet. And I loved it.
4 months LATER . . . we received a gift from my husband’s coworker. This very CD.
Lullaby CDs were off my radar. It’s something I never really thought about. You think about the safest stroller, the best carrier, the cutest nursery, the softest clothes, an audio or video monitor, etc. But such a little thing like this was nowhere on my mind.
It was the PERFECT gift. (Thanks, Pam!) Something useful, that I did not yet have. Something that all new parents can use, no matter their taste or personal preference. Just sweet baby melodies. And if they have music already, it’s a great change-up.
Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Coldplay (and TONS of other rock bands like Aerosmith, Metallica, Journey, etc.), takes classic rock songs that parents love and put it to sweet, tinkly, soft, simple music for babies. So while you’re rocking baby for what seems like an eternity, you can rock out to a version of your own favorite music.
Don’t get me wrong . . . I still love to sing to my babies. But these CDs allow you to create a peaceful environment & and exit the room while it’s still playing. It’s also great to bring along on trips when baby is unfamiliar with their sleep environment. It brings along a touch of familiarity and safeness.
Happy Monday!
