Go to Sleep Little Baby Lyrics and Lullabies [Videos]

The National Sleep Foundation recommends newborn babies aged 0 – 3 months get between 14 and 17 hours of sleep every 24 hours. Infants aged 4 – 11 months require almost as much sleep at a recommended 12 to 15 hours. And toddlers still need lots of extra rest: the National Sleep Foundation says children between 1 – 2 years old should sleep from 11 to 14 hours a day. Missing as little as half an hour or an hour of sleep can have a significant impact on little ones; our earliest months and years are most vital to our lifelong growth and development. If your infant or toddler is having trouble sleeping, science suggests certain sounds can help babies fall asleep and stay asleep.

Go to Sleep Little Baby Lyrics and Lullabies

“Hush, Little Baby” Lyrics 

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word.
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won’t pull,
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won’t bark
Papa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

“Brahms’s Lullaby” (Lullaby and Goodnight) Lyrics 

Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight
With lilies o’er spread is baby’s wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother’s delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast

“Rock-a-Bye Baby” Lyrics 

Rock-a-bye baby, in the treetop
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall
And down will come baby, cradle and all

“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” Lyrics 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

“Sleep, Baby, Sleep” Lyrics 

Sleep, baby, sleep
Your father tends the sheep
Your mother shakes the dreamland tree
And from it fall sweet dreams for thee
Sleep, baby, sleep
Sleep, baby, sleep

Sleep, baby, sleep
Our cottage vale is deep
The little lamb is on the green
With snowy fleece so soft and clean
Sleep, baby, sleep
Sleep, baby, sleep
