I am ordering a new one, as my first one got lost one weekend when my parents stayed with the children. I used this for my first baby. It helped me learn the words to wonderful lullabies so I could sing them myself to my baby, and my husband used it to play for the baby when he did the night-night routine. Very soothing. Beautiful lyrics and a lovely voice. We used it in the car, too, if travel forced us to be in the car during naptime. That and a favorite blanket is all you need for a good nap.

We have played this CD at naptime and bedtime ever since our daughter was born. She is now 3 1/2. We love it and never tire of listening to it. It is soothing and sweet. My husband and I recommend it highly. In fact, our nanny who just had a baby, was looking all over for it. I just purchased her a copy!

I got this cd as a gift when my daughter was born. The first time I listened to it, I literally cried because it was so beautiful. The singer's voice is just perfect for lullabyes, very soothing and lyrical. I started playing it for my daughter when I rocked her to sleep as a newborn and now at nearly 2, when that cd comes on, she knows it's bedtime. After listening to it for 2 years for usually 2-3 times a day, I still love this cd.

I almost didn't buy this because of the comments about Tina's voice being too sweet and the songs sounding the same. A sweet soprano could sound irritating if not well trained and sensitive to the music. This is NOT the case with Ms. Malia. She breathes new life into old stand-bys like Rockaby Baby, which I didn't expect to want to hear twice. She uses her voice as an instrument and works to create subtle and enchanting effects with the accompaniment - particularly striking are the pennywhistle and the sax. And as for the songs, the arrangements are wonderfully varied. It's SO much better than the Disney lullaby cd I also bought, on which so many of the songs are so synth-saturated that even with different singers they do sound the same.

My 20 month old son is captivated by the first few bars, and rarely stays awake for more than 4 songs. After he falls asleep I offer to turn it off and my husband always wants me to leave it on!

GET THIS!

This is by far the best lullaby cd we have ever heard. Tina Malia's voice is soothing and melodic -- perfect for rocking little ones to sleep. But be careful, the songs are so soothing, parents are prone to fall asleep as well. It is truly a beautiful CD.

We bought 3 Lullaby CDs for our infant son. This is the best
of all the three and it is the cheapest of all. The singer's
voice is very pleasing. The songs are good. All in all, this
is a great CD.

We orderd three lullaby CDs for our newborn daughter and this one is by far the best. She's 9 months old now and this CDs is the very best one for helping her fall asleep, and I love it too! I'm buying several more as gifts for our friends with new babies.

This Lullaby CD is now at the top of my gift list for new parents and parents to be. I bought it for myself because I liked the song list, and have been thrilled with the soft relaxing melodies. It puts me to sleep too! It is a standard part of the bedtime routine with my infant, and has been since he was a newborn. I turn out the lights and start the music, and he just knows that it is time for sleep.

I bought this for my newborn baby partly so I could learn some lullaby songs to sing him myself. I would play it and sing along. We eventually had a few favorites, and I would at least sing our top three favorites every night (with or without the CD), but somethimes we'd sing all the songs with the CD. My husband would just play the CD and rock the baby. Many months later, after not having played it in a while, we took the CD with us on a trip out of town and when our "baby" got fussy during the long ride from the airport to our destination, we popped in the CD and put on the #1 favorite, and he was asleep in half a minute!!! Beautiful songs. Beautiful voice. "All through the night" is so beautiful it still makes me tear up.

I started playing this CD for my newborn and it is so beautiful I actually look forward to playing it over and over again. Tina Malia's voice is so rich and soothing it calms both me and the baby down almost instantly. I love singing along with it while rocking him and usually listen to a few more songs just for me after he's gone to sleep in my arms. A must buy!
