Songs

[babydust1990]

My recent discovery is if I sing loudly to my LO he stops crying and grins at me The only baby songs I really know are 'if your happy and you know it' 'heads shoulders knees and toes', 'row row' and 'pat a cake'... Anyone got anymore?

twinkle twinkle little star.... rock a bye baby... humpty dumpty... incy wincy spider...

Our LO likes any kind of singing, actually prefers loud, heavy metal/punk music lmao

 

[Sproglet]

Baa baa black sheep
Twinkle twinkle
Wind the bobbin up
5 little ducks went swimming one day
5 currant buns in a bakers shop
5 little speckled frogs
1 2 3 4 5 once I caught a fish alive
When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears
How much is that doggy in the window?
Rock a bye baby
Old macdonald had a farm
10 green bottles
10 fat sausages sizzling in a pan

I'm hoping you can google the words and tunes! (Can you tell I work in a school?)

Cheers! Googling now

My daughter is the same but she smiles if I sing anything so I just sing what comes into my head whether it's a baby song or not. We do do nursery rhymes at baby sensory though such as
Twinkle Twinkle
Incy Wincy Spider
Old Macdonald
Wheels on the bus
Miss Polly had a dolly
Dingle dangle scarecrow
Wind the bobbin up
Hickory Dickory Dock
Go little horsey

And the ones that are my personal favourite
There was an old lady who swallowed a fly (my son loves this at the moment)
Clap hands Daddy come
If you're happy and you know it

However she actually seems to prefer Adele and Mumford and Sons to all of these haha x

I sing LO the ABC's. I'm hoping him hearing it now will make it easier for him to remember them later

There are some great stations on Pandora that just have baby songs. I put that on and LO and I sing (well just I sing!) and dance around the room.

I also make up songs. We have the farty song lol. LO laughs when I sing it and bend his legs towards his belly. It goes a little something like this "Get them farties out your butt - squish them out, squeeze them out". Repeat. It's stupid but he likes it. I also sing the milkshake song (by Kellis) but change it to "my milkshake brings all the girls to the yard" and stick his little butt out. Loves that one. And the shake your booty song. I think being a SAHM is starting to mess with my head lol!!!

hahaha, we have a similar bum song "bum, bum, bum;s in the air, bum, bum, bum's in the air, bummy, bummy bum bum bum." pretty sure Lo's first word is going to be bum

Our LO loves london bridge and look at that doggy. If I can't think of any new songs, i just do the old ones in a silly voice

LO loves the pirate song:

When I was one, I sucked my thumb, the day I went to sea,
I climbed aboard a pirate ship and the captain said to me,
We go this way, that way, forwards and back
Over the deep blue sea
A bottle of rum to fill my tum,
the pirate's life for me..

When I was two, I tied my shoe the day I went to sea..
When I was three, I climbed a tree ...
When I was four, I shut the door ...
When I was five, I did the jive ...
When I was six, I picked up sticks ...

You get the point - and you can make up your own words, she just likes the 'da da da dumm, da da da dumm, da da, da da, da da' rhythm and when I tickle her belly at 'a bottle of rum to fill my tum'.

Hush little baby don't say a word.

Row row row your boat,,,,,,or seesaw marjery daw.

Miss polly had a dolly. And the grand old duke of york.

My Son particularly likes action songs. Haha we have silly song we made up too, glad I'm not alone lol.

1) Jibran is a booby baby, booby baby, booby baby.
Jibran is a booby baby, yes he is!
I Love my booby baby, booby baby, booby baby.
I love my booby baby yes I do!

He loves it lol as he grows up booby may not be so appropriate, I will find an alternative word , in case one day he repeat this song in public hahaha
