Singing a lullaby is a wonderful way to bond for you and your baby and makes for very special memories. It will also, hopefully, create a calm atmosphere ( no Iron Maiden please!!) for your little one to settle down to sleep.
We've found the lyrics to a couple of time-tested lullabies for you to try.....no excuses for la, la,  laaing !!!!!

Hush Little Baby

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.


Rock-a-Bye Baby

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all

However... if your singing is anything like mine (all who know me will vouch for this), here are a couple of links to lullabies performed by slightly better singers. They may not work for the baby but you'll be 'zzz.z..z...z....z....z......z........' in no time!!
