Relaxing Music for Babies - Gentle Sounds for Better Sleep
Soothing Music: A Natural Sleep Aid for Children
Helping a baby fall asleep can be one of the most rewarding—and sometimes challenging—parts of parenting. Fortunately, calming music is a time-tested way to comfort infants and create a peaceful environment for rest.
Why Lullabies Work
Babies are highly responsive to rhythm and tone. Lullabies that feature soft piano melodies, ambient background sounds, and slow repetition help them settle down. These songs mimic the soothing patterns they heard in the womb.
