Music is a fantastic tool to use in all stages of parenthood. Adding a lullaby to your kids’ bedtime routine can help them wind down at the end of the day.

​Listed below are some of the best songs for helping your little one relax at bedtime. 


​

  • “You Are My Sunshine”
This is a well-known beloved lullaby and a hit song for many performers. The verses are quite melancholy, but the lyrics to the chorus are loving, memorable, and can be sung over and over again. 
  • “Edelweiss”
This sweet waltz is the perfect song to lull your baby to sleep. There are many versions of this song, but this cover by JJ Heller is one of my favorites.
  • “Your Song” by Elton John
This song is my go-to song to sing to my baby girl. I can’t help but tear up when I sing, “How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.”
  • “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles 
The melody of this song is perfect to help littles ones drift off to sleep. Sweet, uplifting, and simple. What else do you need from a lullaby?
  • “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” covered by JJ Heller
This song has lulled many babies into a golden slumber. Just don’t think about the flying monkeys and you’ll be fine. My favorite cover of this classic is, once again, by the incredible JJ Heller.
  • “Stay Awake” by Julie Andrews 
Disney movies have so many songs that make fantastic lullabies. Take a tip from the incomparable Mary Poppins and use some reverse psychology to help your little ones drift off to sleep.
  • “You’ll Be in my Heart” - Phil Collins
Another Disney classic. This is exactly the message you want to sing to your kids at the end of the day.
These songs are simple, easy to remember, and can be sung by singers of all skill levels. If you aren’t feeling up to singing, consider making a playlist on your favorite audio streaming service and let the music lull your little ones into a sweet slumber.
