is there a song you sing for your child before they go to sleep?

I also sing songs to my baby. My favorite and his favorite is "Ugoy ng Duyan." It's a filipino song, and a very beautiful one, I must say. It's like a song from heaven. I hope you find time to try it and listen to it. happy my lotting.

My son is almost 3. We read for about 30=40 minutes before nap and bedtime. Probably about 6 books that are actual stories, not just little picture books. Then I tuck him in with all his friends and sing him Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I don't remember why we started with that song, he just wanted something, and that's all I could think of at the time. :)

Well with my one child I usually sing Jesus loves me to her, my oldest usually puts herself to bed and my 4 year old son has started asking me to sing songs about the craziest things, like "I want a song about a pickle", or " I want a song about a sweater", pretty crazy stuff. And yeah we usually sit down and they all listen to a story before bed.

i actually don't have a kid yet, but i also want to share something in the discussion. my father sings for me before i sleep, i still find it very relaxing and enjoyable. so when i will have my own kid i would definitely sing to him/her before they go to sleep. it's a good way to spend time with them (",)

my little one loves to read the book about barbie story.the song during sleeping not realy but during the day yes and she is busy of something like paper works.she loves doing things like adult.

I do sing to my daughter to get her to sleep sometimes. Unfortunately, I only know a few songs. So I ALWAYS sing these songs: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Silent Night, I Love You (Barney Song), Rock a Bye Baby, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

i used to sing to my babies a lot. now i only do it when they request it. i normally don't sick to one song. my son sometimes want a little song from his nemo song book, sometimes he wants rock a by baby and others he wants me to sing a song i used to sing to them from an old Sleeping Beauty musical i used to watch. since school started, my boys like books and things, but i still like it when my little one wants me to sing because he has such a happy face when i do it.

[i][/i]Hi se7enthbird, I remember when my Sister and I were growing up, our Mom loves to read for us and share us real life experiences as well as her experiences....My Dad loves to share us jokes and we really loved it! Anyway, I have no idea if they have any song for us before..LOL!

When my son was a baby I used to sing rockabye baby song and a local Malay song. Later when he is older I used to read storybooks to him. Now he is 12 years old and he prefers to watch TV before bedtime.

Sometimes, i don't have much songs to sing to him and sometimes my hubby read baby's book to him. I need more practice and research for baby lullaby. Sometimes i do humming to him until he drops off to sleep. Happy posting.

yes i sing mary had a little lamb

I sing this amazing song that my grandparents sang to me when I was a little girl, and every time I sing it my son just smiles instantly. Apparently the song was a hit in the US a long time ago, way before my own time. I am not sure what the song is called, we just call it the alphabet song. It goes through the alphabet like this... A, you're adorable B, you're so beautiful C, you're a cutie full of charm D, you're delightful E, you're exciting F, you're a feather in my arms. and on and on... I love this song so much. It means alot to me, especially because my grandpa sang it to me too. He passed away before I had children so I feel like this is a way I can share him with them too.
