Tip: In the Lullaby app you can turn on Repeat so one lullaby plays on a loop all night, and set a sleep timer that fades the music out once your baby is asleep.

Why lullabies work

Lullabies are one of the oldest and simplest sleep tools we have. A good lullaby is slow (around 60–80 beats per minute, close to a resting heart rate), quiet, and repetitive. Those qualities do a few things at once:

• They signal sleep. Hearing the same gentle music each night becomes a cue in your baby's bedtime routine — a sound that means "it's time to rest."
• They soothe. Soft, predictable melodies are calming and can help settle a fussy or overtired baby.
• They mask noise. A steady lullaby smooths over sudden household sounds that might otherwise startle a light sleeper awake.
• They calm you too. Singing or playing a lullaby slows everyone down at the end of the day, parent included.

You don't need to be able to sing — pressing play works just as well. What matters is that the music is gentle and consistent.

How to choose a lullaby

The "best" lullaby is simply the one your baby settles to. A few things help:

• Keep it slow and soft. Avoid anything with a strong beat or big dynamic changes.
• Pick one and stick with it for a while. Repetition is what turns a song into a sleep cue.
• Loop it. Music that stops after two minutes can wake a baby in a light sleep phase — continuous playback keeps the calm going.
• Fade, don't cut. Sudden silence can wake a sleeping baby; a gentle fade-out is much kinder.
