Gentle, soothing lullabies not only help your child sleep soundly but also strengthen the sacred bond between mother and child. With a warm breath, the sweet voice of a mother will gradually lead to a deep slumber.
Furthermore, according to scientists, singing lullabies to your child is a way to stimulate intelligence and physicality, helping children develop language, psychology, and motor reflexes better than those not sung to by their mothers.
Below is a compilation of the best lullabies from three regions to nurture and cradle your child's sleep entirely.
