Your infant loves music, but your head is going to burst if you sing “Itsy Bitsy Spider” one more time. He’s down with contemporary tunes, but you feel too guilty cranking “Soulja Boy” in the car.
Pop in a CD from Babies Go, which produces melodic reinterpretations of songs by popular artists like Sting, Bob Marley and Elton John — as well as kid-friendly scores from Mozart, Bach and Vivaldi. The lullaby-inspired renditions are soft enough to soothe a baby to sleep and sane enough to keep you humming along. Listen to sample tracks on the site before you decide if your baby is more ABBA or Aerosmith.
And save “Mary Had a Little Lamb” for when you really need it.
