Baby will love your voice no matter how it sounds, so don't eliminate singing based on your own self-critical view of your voice. Sing lullabies to baby that will soothe both of you. If you don't know any, buy a lullaby tape and memorize few. Rock together, holding baby close as you sing softly. Here is one to try:
Sleep, Baby, Sleep
Sleep, baby, sleep, thy father guards the sheep.
Thy
mother shakes the dreamland tree, and from it fall sweet dreams for thee.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Smile, baby, smile, thy mother guards awhile.
Thy
father tends the dreamland tree, and shakes a new sweet dream for thee.
Smile, baby, smile. |
