What is your favorite song to sing to your baby?

Question

I sing at bathtime: Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap, Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap, I would slip and slide across everybody's tiny heiny, Oh I wish I was a little bar of soah (to happy and ya know it tune)

I sing row row row your boat at bedtime.
What about you?

Answer 1

I used to sing to them so much. This question brought back memories...



I love that baby, yes I do.

I love that baby, yes I do.

I love that baby, yes I do.

I love that baby, does he love me too?



I'm sorry that you got a little boo-boo

I'm sorry that it hurt you really bad

I'm sorry that you got a little boo-boo

Now let mommy kiss it and be glad



Patty cake while they laid on the floor and I did the actions with their feet



I'm a little teapot

Frere Jacques

Oh Claire de la Lune

Answer 2

My grandson is 3 wks old today and a few days ago when I was with my daughter and Zack was fussy, she suggested that I sing an old song that my mother taught me how to sing harmony to and I so taught her to harmonize as a child. I'm not sure of the title, but it goes something like this:

With someone like you, a pal so good and true, I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find a place that's known to God alone, just the spot to call our own. We'd find perfect peace where joys would never cease, somewhere beneath the kindly skies. We'd build a sweet little nest somewhere out in the west and let the rest of the world go by.

I also sang You are my sunshine, and the abc song. Its been 24 yrs since I had babies, but I know I sang a lullaby, but can't remember which one. It doesn't really matter what you sing as long as its pleasant and soothing. Their little brains are taking it all in, so all the sights and sounds are making an indelible impression. You could even "sing" a good book. Enjoy your little one. They grow up so fast!

Answer 3

I sing Rock a Bye Baby (of course), Hush Little Baby, Wheels on the Bus, This Old Man, Bingo, Old MacDonald, and quite a few others but my favorite to sing to him, ever since he was born, has always been You are my Sunshine, because he IS the sunshine in my life and brightens every day with his smile =)

Answer 4

When my daughter gets fussy I sing "Hush Little Baby" to calm her. At bed time I sing Too Ra Loo Ra Loo (I don't know all the words so I hum part of it). I also sing Christopher Robin sometimes just for fun. My older daughter thinks it's funny because her dad's name is Kristopher.

Answer 5

Twinkle Star , Alphabet Song and Its A Small World After All

Answer 6

My husband and I sort of made up a song. We call her Nini's as a nick name...



Oh the Nini's eats panini's, oh the Nini's I love you.

Oh the Nana's eats Bananas, oh the nana's, I love you.



Pretty much anything else that rhymes like the vowel song. She loves it.

Answer 7

I sing the classic baby songs (Rock a bye baby) and nursery rhymes. Although I occasionally make up my own, spur or the moment. Really anything works as long as it is soothing and calm. Just hearing your voice will help soothe your baby.

Answer 8

Hush Little Baby at bedtime.

I usually make up my own songs during bathtime and sometimes just when changing her diaper. lol

Answer 9

Frank Sinatra's "Theme from New York, New York" - my Munchkin absolutely loves it.



I also sing him Hang On, Sloopy (yes, we're Buckeyes fans, and yes, I move his arms into the O-H-I-O - lol!), "Louie, Louie" (and we have dance moves that accompany it!), and Billy Joel's "Keeping the Faith" - he would kick like mad during my pregnancy whenever this song came on.

Answer 10

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.... only b/c it's his favorite. He's 15 months old and tries to hum it back to me, it's the cutest thing ever!!!

Answer 11

I sang my son Van Morrison's -- Into The Mystic

& Lynyrd Skynyrd's -- Simple Man



I guess it's all in what you like :)

Answer 12

I always sing "I'm so pretty, oh so pretty" to my daughter and she just grins really big. She will be 3 months old tomorrow and she loves to be told she's pretty. LOL.

Answer 13

anything by the fray. She has a lullaby CD, but I don't like singing them. The fray is slow enough to sooth her, but catchy and upbeat enough for me to enjoy as well.

Answer 14

My babys name is leah and we sing you are my sunshine with her name in it...



You are our sunshine

our only sunshine

you make us happy

when skies are gray

you never know dear

how much we love you

please dont take our leah away

Answer 15

The alphabet song or pat-a-cake. He loves both.

Answer 16

sing them some Led Zeppelin. the lemon song, preferable.

Answer 17

Actually, I sing songs that I like and listen to. As long as it doesn't teach fowl language or promotes sex or anything like that, why not?

Answer 18

My favorite is "You are my sunshine" my mom sang it to me and I sang it to mine.



Also I love "Que sera, sera" What will be, will be. The kids love it too!!!



But for bedtime I sing "Twinkle, twinkle little star"

Answer 19

You are my sunshine and Ava Maria

Answer 20

"I wanna be an Airborne Ranger" and "99 bottles of beer on the wall"

Answer 21

He loves the song Jesus loves me, except I change it to Jesus loves Zeke :)

Answer 22

You are my sunshine always makes my lil' man smile!
