Music For Babies
It seems music is an integral part of growing up baby.
Some experts suggest letting the baby listen to classical music while some experts say a limited repertoire may actually contribute to a limited vocabulary for babies.
I don’t know about experts but my baby sure likes music. A lot of it. For a time he has been fixating on “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson, remix by J Nevins. Before that, he wanted his father’s techno music, probably because that’s what his papa had been playing while I was pregnant.
Children’s music can be very expensive, and most CDs contain just about the same songs with a handful of orginals. So I rely on my Window’s Media Player to shop for music. It’s like doing it in iTunes but you have several vendors to choose from. From the price and ease, I go to Walmart [available right on your WM Player].
Best buys I’d recommend are the Countdown Kids’ “100 all time favorite songs”, “100 silly songs”, The wiggles’ “big red car” and the Carebears holiday tunes. They are actually entertaining! My once techno/trance DJ hubba said, “I’d never in my life expect I’d enjoy baby music!” I guess they crafted the lyrics for the parents and the melody for babies!
For mellower tunes, you can check out the Twin Sisters’ “Blessed Slumber” and Classical Music.
