Gail - October 8, 2018 2:26 PM

I sang this little light of mine so many times

My two love traditional nursery rhymes!

So my parents didn't sing to me when I was young. But they did read "Goodnight, Moon" every night for the first 5 years of my life

Jennifer Maune - October 8, 2018 9:07 PM

"You Are My Sunshine" is always a good one!

I always sing "You are my sunshine" but we change the words to make it more uplifting. It's a family favorite!

Hannah F - October 8, 2018 10:48 PM

I don't have kids but I love singing Que Sera to my doggy :) Music is fundamental and so important.

Nicole Anderson | Camping for Women - October 8, 2018 10:58 PM

We didn't do any songs as such, but always read stories that fired the imagination and eventually got them off to dreamland.

Britney - October 8, 2018 11:31 PM

Our top ones are "Twinkle Twinkle" and "I Love you"

Michelle Leslie - October 9, 2018 12:30 AM

I can't sing to save my life :D but I do vividly remember humming a lovely Afrikaans song called "Kinder's van die wind" (Children of the wind) Everytime I hear it, it brings back beautiful memories of my kids and snuggle time

Preet - October 9, 2018 2:58 AM

There so many lullaby on my daughters list, lol! She actually loves badanamu.

Lynda H - October 9, 2018 6:14 AM

We're another family that sings "You are my sunshine". That's my personal favourite. My son's favourite was "Edelweiss", DD1 loved Barney's "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family", DD2 and DD3 both loved "Twinkle Twinkle"

Maartje van Sandwijk - October 9, 2018 6:22 AM

Don't have kids so don't have to sing them any songs :) My parents used to sing me old dutch songs. Don't actually remember what they were...

Christa - October 9, 2018 6:59 AM

We listen to music more than I sing it. No one wants to hear me. Lol. My son loves anything he hears on Sesame Street.

Czjai Reyes-Ocampo - October 9, 2018 8:31 AM

"When We Dance" by Sting. My son loved it when I would cradle him in my arms and 'dance' him to sleep. :)

Megan - October 9, 2018 9:03 AM

My parents played me a lot of classical music and Elton John as a kid, honestly! Haha.

Monidipa Dutta - October 9, 2018 10:23 AM

No ever sang lullaby to me. And I don't have kids to sing too but they are good.

Taryn - October 9, 2018 10:25 AM

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Over the Rainbow are two melodies kids seem to love!! Lullabies are such a great way to bond with the little ones.

Kristine Nicole Alessandra - October 9, 2018 10:36 AM

Oh, when it comes to lullabies my kids really loves Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars and Row, Row, Row Your Boat and we sung it together.

Alejandra Graf - October 9, 2018 11:17 AM

My kids just liked the rocking. Funny but they liked the silence.

Evelyn Hernandez - October 9, 2018 11:33 AM

Funny questions, as I normally do not speak Spanish at home but when my son was smaller I would sing lullabies in Spanish. It was called "Dormir Mi Nino" meaning Sleep my Baby.

Rosemary - October 9, 2018 12:51 PM

I don't have kids, but I always loved Twinkle Twinkle little star while growing up!

Charlene - October 9, 2018 1:36 PM

I don't have a great memory so I would sing whatever was in my head. For a long while 'Shake it Off' was a favourite.

Kristi Ann - October 9, 2018 3:52 PM

We always sang the song "Connected".

Frank - October 9, 2018 9:37 PM

My wife and I make them up! So far so good. ;)

Geraline Batarra - October 9, 2018 10:07 PM

Lullabies are so important to me when my kids are still a baby. It helps me a lot most especially in times of their bad days.

Linh - October 10, 2018 1:01 AM

We love You are my Sunshine, Rockabye Baby, Jesus Loves Me, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

Melissa Sanchez - October 10, 2018 9:33 AM

'Duermete niÑo' was one that i gre up listening to, the rest of the lullabys I learned later in life. My kiddos had the chance to grow up listening to lullabys in two different languages.

Deborah - October 10, 2018 12:24 PM

I normally play disney lullabies before I put my little one to bed. She has loved music since the wound. So it works lol

Eileen Mendoza Loya - October 11, 2018 2:49 AM

I sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Somewhere over the rainbow," and "Que Sera Sera" to my kids when they were little. Now when I babysit for my grandson, I sing "Xiao Xing Xing" (Mandarin version of Twinkle Twinkle little star) and "You are My Sunshine."

Elizabeth O - October 11, 2018 1:04 PM

My kids are older now so it's not a topic on my mind. Let's just say I sang all the classic lullabies and then some. :)

Nandita - October 11, 2018 1:50 PM

Both my sons love the Cuppycake song. Whenever my younger one gets fidgety, I can calm him down with this song, not sure why.

Tiffany Yong - October 13, 2018 4:18 AM

I don't have kids yet, but I will be singing to them both English and Chinese songs so that they will be exposed to both languages!
