A lullaby is often the first piece of music a baby ever hears repeated. These ten classic lullabies are loved for a reason — and at the end, we'll show you how to create a personalised lullaby that uses your baby's actual name, making it a one-of-a-kind keepsake (and a brilliant baby shower gift).

The picks

1. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" — Traditional

The universal first lullaby.

2. "You Are My Sunshine" — Traditional

Warm, simple, instantly soothing.

3. "Hush, Little Baby" — Traditional

A bedtime ritual in song form.

4. "Edelweiss" — Sound of Music

Gentle and timeless.

5. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" — Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

A softer cover that babies (and parents) love.

6. "Baby Mine" — Dumbo

Beautifully tender.

7. "Blackbird" — The Beatles

A guitar lullaby that grows up with them.

8. "Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel)" — Billy Joel

Written by a father for his daughter. Quietly devastating.

9. "Stay Awake" — Mary Poppins

Reverse psychology, beautifully arranged.

10. "Better Together" — Jack Johnson

A modern parents' lullaby of choice.

Why a personalised song hits harder than a playlist

A lullaby with your baby's actual name in it is something they'll grow up hearing — and one day, sing to their own children. A personalised lullaby from Celebrate Magic Moments uses your baby's name, your message to them, and a gentle musical style. It's also a baby shower gift that nobody else turns up with.
