If you only buy one CD for listening to with your newborn, this is it! My baby is just 11 weeks old and we listen to "Mellow my baby" over and over again every day. My husband, who is not too into lullabys, catches himself singing the songs even when the CD isn't playing! It's been wonderful and I know we will continue to listen to it while our daughter grows and can sing the songs herself. This would be a perfect gift for all new mothers, and it's what my friends will be receiving for their new babies.

My 2 year old loves this CD. When we go in at night to read before bed, he turns on the CD player. The songs are beautiful and soothing and the tempo is relaxing. I only wish it had been available when he was first born.

Beautiful lyrics, luscious songs, sensitive production, and a warm, glowing voice to mellow your baby to sleep. I have never enjoyed a Lullaby collection this much, and neither has my daughter. I find myself listening even after she drifts off. This CD is a winner..

Oh, how I wish I'd owned this CD when my child was a baby! Sherry Goffin Kondor's beautiful voice is sweet, soulful and soothing. The selection of songs ranges from traditional ("Rockabye Baby", "Golden Slumbers") to originals ("With You In your Dreams", "Island of Dreams").
When Sherry is done singing, it's your turn - a brilliant idea to add instrumental versions - because your baby loves the sound of your voice (even if you don't). My favorites are "Child of Mine", "Inchworm", "Betcha By Golly Wow" and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I will be giving this to all my friend with babies.

On a whim, my wife got this CD for our 2 1/2 year-old daughter. Before it, getting her to bed was a 2-hour process of frustration. Now we're down to about 20 minutes.

It goes, storytime, good night to her stuffed animals then Lullaby Time. No crying, no repeated requests to "Please go to sleep" -- she hits Play on the CD player and listens peacefully until she falls to sleep.

A great, great CD that I have to admit, I find myself singing from time to time.

My son had colic, and we listened to a lot of lullabye CD's to get us through long, sleepless nights. This one was, hands down, the best. The songs are soothing and sweet, but not cloying. Mom and dad can listen to them over and over without going insane. For years afterwards (my son is now seven) we found ourselves spontaneously humming the songs that at that point we knew so well.

Goffin Kondor's voice is gorgeous, and if you're a Carole King fan, you'll be pleased to hear a few little cameos by her, as well.

I love this cd... I played it every night for my baby and she loved it!

My Mom bought this for me when I was pregnant. I was going to have twins! When I first listened to it, I found it too mellow and boring. Little did I know that it would become a means of survival to sooth twin baby girls to sleep and to sooth me in between six feedings every night. I truely appreciated the calmness and beautiful melodies it provided. Now my girls are four,and I will always keep this cd and enjoy it. Although they still keep me busy, now I can reminese of the time when they were just wee things.

I literally loathe repetition...HOWEVER...I have been using this since my nearing-three-year-old was born every time I put him down for naps or nighttime sleep and sleep interruptions and even I still love to listen to it. My son even asks for it to be put on when he lays down. The woman's voice is incredibly soothing. She sings 13 songs and then it's the instrumental versions thereafter for a total of around an hour and fifteen minutes. It's been an absolutely wonderful tool for signaling when it's sleep time. I highly recommend this CD!

PS--I wrote this review two years ago (my son is going on 5) and we are STILL using and enjoying this CD DAILY! We will be using this for my daughter's arrival in two weeks as well. I hope she loves it as much as we do! Something tells me she will! ;-)

This is a peaceful, beautifully sung compilation of lullabies that are soothing to put baby to bed with.
