What lullabies and music for babies to listen to so that the child falls asleep quickly

Lullaby songs for babies

Lullabies are such a special and recognizable genre that it is not even necessary for a baby to understand the language in which it is sung. In one study confirmedthat foreign lullabies still soothed more than other music. The parents were offered to choose from unfamiliar songs which they would use for motion sickness, and they also, not knowing the language, chose lullabies. Apparently, the fact is that, regardless of origin, there are some universal elements in lullabies that soothe.

Music for falling asleep

In addition to the classic ones, there are other pleasant melodies, so choose according to your taste.

Try, for example, the very popular English lullaby.

White noise for falling asleep

White noise helps children to calm down and fall asleep, and also masks extraneous noise. Therefore, some babies sleep sweetly to the sound of the included hair dryer. Now there are special applications, YouTube videos and tracks on music platforms that mimic white noise. It is advisable to turn it on at a low volume and turn it off after falling asleep, so as not to interfere with development hearing.

When there is nothing musical at hand, but you need to rock the child, you can simply mumble under your breath in the same rhythm. Usually such a monotonous sound also soothes the baby, but does not tire the performer as much as singing. You can also make a lingering sound “shshshshshshshsh” every few seconds.

Lyric songs

The child gets acquainted with the voices of the parents even before birth. Even if you do not have a special musical talent, the closeness of mom and dad and their voices in themselves will give a sense of security, since his life is directly dependent on adults. There are studies that newborns in intensive care sleep was stronger if they included a recording of their mother's voice.

It is not necessary to learn the lyrics of lullabies, it is enough to sing your favorite song in a calm, quiet voice.

Remember that children like not only mom's songs, but also serenades from dad.

Made up songs

And you can take the text right out of your head: play with the name and nicknames of the baby, sing about his qualities, about how wonderful he is, add “bye-bye” in the right places. The most difficult thing about this is not to make the grown-up baby laugh, so that laying down does not turn into a game. And if you also know how to play instruments, then the kid will definitely remember such concerts for the rest of his life.
