Lullaby Tips

  • Whenever possible, sing a lullaby to your baby yourself, rather than playing it on a device. Studies show that parents’ voices (especially mothers’ voices) engage babies’ brains far better than other sounds.
  • Never put headphones on your infant.
  • If using a device to play lullabies for your baby, be sure to keep the volume low. Your child’s inner ears are very sensitive, and anything above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. Keep in mind that normal conversation is around 60 decibels.
  • It’s never too early to start your child on music. Begin singing to your baby while they’re still in the womb!
  • Don’t worry about having the perfect pitch. Your baby will benefit from the bonding experience of your singing, even if you’re not a trained singer.
