When my daughter was a newborn, my mom gave me several classical music CDs.
But we didn’t need them. No, we were all set – with Chicago’s Greatest Hits and a Chris Tomlin/Matt Redman mix tape. (Okay, technically it was a mix CD, but that doesn’t really have the same ring to it.)
See, I’d read in one of the many parenting books that graced my nightstand during those early months that babies need loud sounds in order to be soothed. In essence, my baby needed to rock out.
So Chicago it was. And…I have to admit…Air Supply. Don’t laugh! They rock…softly….

I could possibly be the only “male” that will admit it, but I love me some Air Supply! :-)
Not sure what that says about me, but it is what it is.
I’m all out of love….I’m so lost without you….
Wow, that’s sad :-).
I think, Toby, that it says you have very good taste in soft rock genius. :)
I always wonder if that stuff is really true…
I don’t know about the bulk of the things I read being true, but the loud, constant noise DID work!
Oh, how I love Air Supply. What brilliant lullaby music! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that!
When Eden was about 4 months old, she would TOTALLY rock out to Elvis, particularly “Devil in Disguise.” It was awesome.
