"If You're Happy and You Know It!" This joyful clapping and stamping song teaches body parts (help your baby clap her hands until she can do it on her own)."She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain." Lots of action words are the point here, so make the most of them in each verse (toot, toot!)."Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."Yup — more body parts are introduced in this cute tune. Make it extra fun by repeating the song a little bit faster each time."Miss Mary Mack." Clothing is the next topic in this classic tune, which is an excellent one to sing while getting your baby dressed in the morning."Baby Shark." This song may make you cringe, but it’s super fun and it hits upon every member of the family with a cute hand gesture."Blackbird." Who’s better than the Beatles? Croon this tune while at the park — you just might spy a bird that matches the lyrics."I Wanna Hold Your Hand." Yup, more John and Paul, plus the rest of the Fab Four. Show your love with this song and literally hold your baby’s hand while you do it."Can’t Help Falling in Love." Wise men say, as Elvis once sang. You’ve already fallen in love with your new baby, but keep telling her about your feelings anyway."There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly."This goofy number follows a pattern, adding a spider, a bird and then a cat as it builds to the finale."Fried Ham."You’ll go through the whole kitchen pantry and fridge with this funny tune."On Top of Spaghetti." This dinnertime ditty is about losing your meatball when somebody sneezes. Your baby will likely toss meatball bits from her highchair, so it’s very appropriate."Baby BumbleBee." Insects, animals and every other wild thing is packed into this crazy song, along with excellent vocab words like “squish.”- “Rock-a-bye Baby” Both a nursery rhyme and a baby lullaby, “Rock-a-bye baby” or sometimes “Hush-a-bye baby” is based on an English ballad called “Lillibullero.”
- “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” With lyrics based on an early nineteenth-century poem by Jane Taylor and music based on “Ah! vous dirai-je, maman,” a French melody from 1761, “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is a perennial favorite.
- “Cradle Song” (Brahms’s Lullaby) or “Wiegenlied” Another classic baby lullaby, “Cradle Song” (also commonly known by its first line, “Lullaby and goodnight”) was composed by Johannes Brahms and published in 1868 as “Wiegenlied” (German for cradle song) for one of his former flames on the birth of her second child.
- “Hush Little Baby” Most likely originating from the Southern states, this baby lullaby promises rewards for a child if they are quiet for naptime or bedtime.
- Itsy Bitsy Spider. Not only is it fun to sing Itsy Bitsy Spider, but you can also help your baby develop their eye-tracking capabilities by doing the hand motions as shown in this video.
- Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. A classic song to sing to your baby, Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star is probably a song that you already know the lyrics to.
- Skinna Marinky Dink. I used to sing this song to my babies in utero and I loved seeing the recognition on their faces when I first sang it to them after birth.
- Five Little Ducks. This is a sweet song about a mama duck and her five little ducks. It’s also a nice way to expose your baby to numbers and counting in a fun way.
- “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. It’s not a baby song per se, but few songs are more beautiful than the much loved and often covered “Hallelujah.” Skip over the PG-13 verse and it’s lullaby gold.
- “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. This George Harrison classic has lulled many a baby into golden slumber. Sweet and uplifting, what more could you ask from a lullaby?
- “Blackbird” by The Beatles. The Beatles’ second appearance in this list is musically not for the faint of heart. The guitar melody is notoriously difficult, but the vocals are lovely and perfect for little ones drifting off to sleep.
- “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland. We all know the benefit of stress-relief, so let troubles melt away like lemon drops as you introduce this classic to your sweet baby.
