There is no info online about this product so here is a little about this great lullaby album: It is a soothing instrumental album with classic lullabies such as Brahm's Lullaby, Rock-a-bye Baby, Are You Sleeping, and Hush Little Baby. It has piano, guitar, and flute, among others - beautiful music. With all the lullaby CDs out there, I was looking for something a little more simple, not so overproduced like a lot of them, and this is exactly what I wanted. It comes with a lyrics booklet so you can sing or hum along to your baby and it's in a range that makes it easy to do so. We use this music as part of our 3-month-old's bedtime routine and he is instantly calmed by it. I highly recommend it.

We LOVE this CD and I give it to all my friends as gifts, too. It is so peaceful and relaxing and perfect for bedtime. Hard to find anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. My 2 year old still listens to it when he goes to bed and all night long.

I cannot possibly convey how much I love this CD! I bought it on a whim for my then two year niece as a birthday present, and have been gifting it to new parents since. It is bar none the best collection of sleepy-time tunes on the market. From the gorgeous arrangements, to the order of the songs...it perfectly sets the mood for sleep. When our daughter was in the NICU, we hauled the radio up there every night in order to lull her into more peaceful dreams with this CD. Some of my fondest memories of her early infancy involve a lot of snuggling and quietly singing to her these beautiful melodies as she drifted off to dreamland. The best part is that they include the lyrics to each song, so you no longer have to improvise the words as you go (you will probably be the only parent in your circle of friends who knows all of the verses to Brahm's Lullaby!) My only caution is to not listen to the music yourself unless you are undoubtly awake. My husband and I broke open the CD in the car late at night on the way home from Toys 'R' Us, and we can definitely attest to its soporific effect! My only regret was that I did not have the CD through the entirety of my pregnancy because I would have loved for our baby to have been surrounded by its ethereal music the enitre time she was developing. It is one of the few CDs I can listen to time and again and never tire of. Off all the small paraphenalia you will collect for your baby's first year, be sure to include this heavenly CD. It is ten or so dollars very well spent.

I have bought a number of CDs for my 15 month old daughter to listen to when it is "down time". While piano music geared for adults does a good job, this is the best one I've found geared for babies. Everyone raves about the Baby Einstein CDs, but I find them to be a bit too bubbly and musicbox-esque. There are times when my daughter loves the Baby Einstein music, but when it is really time to relax this Tender Lullabies CD is the best. The songs are classic lullabies that are very recognizable, and a number of different instruments are incorporated into each song. There are no sharp or punctuated moments in the songs, and they really flow. My daughter can easily mellow out while listening to the music, and I enjoy it also.

This is a wonderful CD! My 16 month old twins have fallen asleep to this every night since they were born. I couldn't imagine a night without it. It is really beautiful and peaceful music. I highly recommend it!

We use this cd everytime we put our little one to sleep--it works like a charm. We even like to bring it when we travel as it is a great reminder of home. In fact, the times we haven't brought it on trips, our baby sleeps poorly with the unfamiliar surroundings.

Enjoy the CD although it was not exactly what I was looking for in a lullaby CD. We use this as a back-up when the other one is misplaced

I have a sweet little baby who doesn't calm down easily when it's bedtime. I'll put her gently in the crib after walking around the room with the lights dimly lit, talking in a quiet voice... and she'll immediately start giggling and kicking her legs, with eyes wide open!

So I decided to buy a CD of lullabies, since I was going crazy singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for way too long to admit. This CD has beautiful music I want to hear. My formerly hyper-at-bedtime daughter doesn't instantly fall asleep when I play this music, but I have noticed she slows down her movements a lot faster than before and is now capable of falling asleep on her own!!! To me, it's a miracle, so I highly encourage any parent who wants a little easier time at bedtime or naps to buy this CD.

I'm also a musician, so it was important to me that my baby's lullabies were good quality. The arrangements are well-done instrumentals I actually look forward to hearing. I'm so glad I found it and would buy it for all new parents.

By far this was the best lullaby cd that we received (& there were several). We give it at any shower that we go to. It was very soothing & they were usually down by the 3rd song. My oldest is now 4 & he turns it on to calm himself when he is having a meltdown - we never suggested it to him. Beware though if you happen to be enjoying an even ing outside with friends after you put the little one down, the music through the monitor will quickly make everyone else sleepy too.

This is what I was looking for for so long, traditional lullabies with lyrics provided in the booklet so I can sing to my little girl. She usually falls asleep by the end of the first song (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), but I just play the whole CD so that both her and I settle nicely for the night. Highly recommended.
