Lullabies around the world

We asked on Facebook what Mums and Dads in other countries might sing to help their children go to sleep. Here's what I sang to Toby when he was little (and occasionally, today). Several people shared links, and we listened to them all!

Tatjana, in Serbia, is singing this. We thought it sounded really swingy, and we were swaying on the sofa. :)

Shelley in Canada told us about this sweet little song - Toby really, really, really, really liked it, and apparently, Mummy *has to* learn it!

Yun Xiao said that this is what she sang to her two boys when they were little - it sounds so sweet and gentle, and lovely and calm!

Barbie is singing "My Girl" to her daughter. We loved both the song and the video, and Toby quite fancies having choreographed dancers in his room at bedtime!

Leah shared "You are my Sunshine" - Toby has heard me sing this one occasionally, but thanks to Leah - and Johnny Cash - we were sitting on the sofa, both of us singing along, with Toby clicking his fingers.

And finally, Lisa told us about this sweet song - we hadn't heard it before, but we both loved imagining Superman in his pyjamas - whether a little boy Superman, or the "real" one.

Thank you so much for sharing - if you read this and you can tell us more, please comment and share links to more lullabies around the world!!
