No offense to the old school, Jack and Jill went up the hill nursery rhymes, but I think it’s more fun to sing some classics to your little one. It’ll eventually expand they’re vocabulary and what better way to teach them early on what good music is!

So ditch that iPhone/iPad/Android and sing to your baby! They’ll have enough time when they’re older to immerse themselves in our ever growing technological world.

You can do this while baby is hibernating in your womb or when your breasfeeding. I find it especially helpful when they’re crying, drooling, pooping, in car rides, early morning, and at night. Well anytime actually!

Here are a few that we love singing to our little one. I could of added more but the list could go on and on! They’re in no particular order. Videos included 🙂

1. Hakuna Matata, from The Lion King

It means no worries for the rest of your days…
