The Story Behind Lullabies Spotify Playlist
As you can imagine, much of my
baby break was spent getting used to having a newborn in the house
again and learning what he likes and dislikes. Turns out, my son is
a fan of music, which should come to no surprise to those who know
me and my semi-secret love of musicals or my husband and his
collection of musical instruments and his band.
One day when nothing else was working to put him to sleep, I began
humming to him and it was like I flipped a switch and he instantly
closed his eyes and settled down. While I kept humming to him, I
began looking up how and why the singing worked, which brings us to
today’s topic.
I’m your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind
Lullabies.
