The Water is Wide was what always got both my children and latterly my grandson to sleep. And Blow the Wind Southerly. Puff the Magic Dragon was another favourite.

I used to sing The Teddy Beats Picnic to DD. It always seemed to workgrin. DS went to sleep as soon as he was put down, so no lullabies were needed for him.

I used to sing "Hush little baby", but substituted baby with child's name.

I’ve just been reminded that I used to quieten DDs when infants by carrying them around crooning ‘What are you doing Sunday, baby’, a tune they can all still hum, and which must date me. One of the DDs used to sing ‘Surfing USA’ to hers - no wonder the DGC were so restless. What are the top numbers nowadays?
