Lullabies

Please enjoy these traditional lullabies, also known as cradle or sleep songs, from around the world, to celebrate one of the most special times of the day: bedtime. Parents can help their young ones relax and settle in for the night by dimming the lights, rubbing baby's back or rocking baby to sleep while singing a soothing song or two. Sweet dreams!
