Knowing just how much you’ll break into song when you have a new baby, I’ve rounded up a list of my favorite baby songs to sing to your baby.

It’s a hilarious memory and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Yep, Jingle Bells made the rounds at my house during summertime until we upped our lullaby game. And since my husband and I hadn’t been around kids much before having our son, we didn’t know many children’s songs… so we found ourselves singing Christmas songs to soothe him. Learning nursery songs for babies wasn’t on my pregnancy checklists so I didn’t even think of it. No one mentioned to me that as a new mom, I would constantly break out into song as if I were in a musical. I had no idea that my baby would love to hear me sing – all the time. You’ll find yourself singing your baby to sleep, singing to calm them down in the car, and singing as a way of playing together. Singing to your baby will come in handy, too. In fact, studies have shown that babies as young as one day old can discriminate audible rhythmic patterns. Your baby will simply be comforted by the sound of your voice. It doesn’t matter what you sing or how your voice sounds, either. It’s amazing to see their faces light up in recognition when you sing the same songs to them after they are born. It helps to expose your baby to songs in the womb. In fact, you can even begin singing to your baby while you’re pregnant. It’s also a great way to bond with your baby and express your love. When you sing to your baby, your baby is developing listening skills, learning new words, and gaining confidence. It’s true – singing to your baby has numerous benefits. Did you know that singing to your baby helps boost their brain development?
