“Rock” Your Baby To Sleep

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 by: Nancy Ripton

Many moms are taking rocking your baby to sleep literally. A new study found that more moms are singing pop and rock tunes to baby than traditional lullabies. Out of 2,000 mothers polled, two-third preferred to rock out with their tots before nap time. Thirteen percent of moms thought lullabies were too old fashioned and 10 percent couldn’t remember the lyrics.

The top 5 baby hits are:

1. Patience - Take That (yes, it was a UK study)

2. Angels - Robbie Williams

3. I Kissed a Girl - Kate Perry (just plain weird)

4. You’re Beautiful - James Blunt

5. Love Me Tender - Elvis Presley

(Guns n’ Roses even made it in to the top 10 with Sweet Child O’ Mine)

While I’m still a fan of the classics - I sing a mean Wheel’s on the Bus - I can be found singing the occasional pop tune. For months after my first son Bode was born we used to dance around the house to Justin Timberlake’s Sexy Back (changing the words to “Bode’s bringing preppy back.”)

I’m all for mixing the classic baby tunes with some new pop hits.

What are your favorite tunes to share with baby?
