What do you like to sing to your baby?

Question

I sing the same thing over and over, "you are my Sunshine" What other songs do you sing to your baby? And lyrics also. I can't think of other songs, I know rock-a-bye baby but I need new ones.

Answer 1

I used to sing the ABC's when I changed their diapers, and hymns during the day.

I also put an ABC poster over the changing table and pointed out the letters. It's made a routine of finishing the changing and they both learned their letters that way.

Answer 2

EVERYTHING. Ever since my son was born, we sang and sang and sang. Anything that you listen to go ahead and sing the words, or make up your own. I used to even sing the steps of changing his diaper - he loved it. My son is only 13 months old now and he loves all kinds of music. He thinks everything - even the sound of power tools - is music and dances and sings and drums on anything that will make a noise. If you are looking at rhymes that you can teach your baby later though, try http://www.nurseryrhymes4u.com. It looked like a pretty jam-packed site.

Answer 3

I sing commercial jingles LOL he loves then cuz they are so upbeat & he can't understand the words yet anyway so he just thinks that mommy is singing the best of songs! I just normally sing whatever song that I heard last that's stuck in my head too. Babues don't care much until they get bigger & can understand.

Answer 4

I sang "You are my sunshine", too! I sang absolutely anything to him - a baby just likes the sound. If you need assistance to learn some classic songs, get some cds or dvds. Disney songs are good.

Answer 5

Baby Mine by Allison Krauss

Answer 6

this is a fun song that i sung to my first born and he loved it...im not sure the title because my mom started to sing it to him and i had to learn it from her....

we went to the animal fair
the birds and the beasts were there
the big baboon
by the light of the moon
was combing his auburn hair
you should of seen the monk
it jumped on the elephants trunk
the elephant sneezed
and fell to his knees
but what became of the monk
the monk the monk the monk the monk

Answer 7

I make up words about my sons like:
(Hello Dolly melody)

Well hello Amari
Well hello Amari
It's so nice to have you here where you belong
Your lookng swell Amari
I can tell Amari
Youre still growing
Youre still growing
Youre still growing
Strong


And other silly songs like that for my youngest son Jamir

Answer 8

I sang Amazing Grace and my others but when I ran out I sang the ABC song...my son knew his ABC's at 2 1/2..or try websites like judyanddavid.com..it might spark something from your childhood.

found this site, it has some song lyrics for you. A favourite in our home is Mulberry Bush, but we change the lyrics to suit what we are doing:
This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands
This is the way we wash our hands,
so early in the morning.

This is the way we wash the baby....

This is the way we put on our shirt....

you get the idea!
