when I was little my Dad used to sing twinkle twinkle little star to me. it really worked

An old Southern song went something like this;

Go tell aunt rosie
Go tell aunt rosie
Go tell aunt rosie, that the old gray goose is dead
She died in the mill pond
died in the mill pond
died in the mill pond
Standing on her head

Does anyone else remember that or how it's supposed to go?

One thing that worked when nothing else did was to tape-record the baby's crying and play it back.

You have to make a fresh tape for each baby, because if you play another baby's crying, the real one will just cry louder.

I always found it most effective to rock my children to sleep ... with real rocks. ;-)

Rock-A-Bye Baby

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game"

Seriously. He picked it himself, I think. I tried all the "Oranges and Lemons", and "Twinkle Twinkle", and the "Bye, Baby Button" and all that... never worked. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" does it every time. ^_^

Kentucky Babe

My kids loved "You Are My Sunshine"

winnie the pooh...chubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff....over and over till i hate that damn bear.

im not sure what the song is called but it goes like this close your eyes close your eyes close your eyes and go to sleep my sweet little baby and you repeat that like 2 or 3 times!!Also you could sing You Are My Sunshine thats what my grandmother use to sing to me when i was a child!!

I just sing whatever comes to mind, or make up a song. The baby doesn't know if you know the words or it is a real song, it is just the sound of your voice in soothing tones.

aint i

Michael Row your boat ashore
Alleluia
Michael Row you boat ashore
Allelu-u-ia
The river is deep and the ocean is wide alleluia
Milk and honey on the other side
Alleluia

(an old favorite of mine)

"Y'all wanna single say f**K that" - KoRn

row, row, row your boat gently down the stream
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.
This used to work a treat for my 2 little boys.

Oh and

Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow, with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row, row, row and pretty maids all in a
row, row, row your boat gently down the stream etc etc

Blimey that took me back!!!!!!

Edelweiss from the Sound of Music - worked every time!

my mum always used to sing to my Brother "beautiful boy"
sweet song

I have a baby!?!

I've sang to my boys since I first found out I was pregnant. They each have "their" songs.

The oldest "Me and Bobby McGee" he always called it the train song. He's 8 and still passes out whenever I start to sing it.

The youngest "Angel From Montgomery" he calls it the old woman song. He's 4 and also still passes out when I sing it.

The only conflict I run into at night is who gets "his" song first.

I believe with all my heart that everyone has "their" song. I know what all the kid's in my family's songs are, as well as the songs of several of my friends. Comes in handy, even with adults, during times of extreme stress or grief.

when i watch my baby cousin(s) i sing mo ghile mear by mary black. (though i prefer that version i sing the celtic woman version just slower) and garten mother's lullaby.
puts them to sleep every time :)

I sing my own version of You Are My Sunshine

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
you make me happy every day
youll always know dear (or use their name)
how much I love you
all my (or mommies) love is here to stay
