"I am ordering a new one, as my first one got lost one weekend when my parents stayed with the children. I used this for my first baby. It helped me learn the words to wonderful lullabies so I could sing them myself to my baby, and my husband used it to play for the baby when he did the night-night routine. Very soothing. Beautiful lyrics and a lovely voice. We used it in the car, too, if travel forced us to be in the car during naptime. That and a favorite blanket is all you need for a good nap."
Best Lullaby for Babies

"We have played this CD at naptime and bedtime ever since our daughter was born. She is now 3 1/2. We love it and never tire of listening to it. It is soothing and sweet. My husband and I recommend it highly. In fact, our nanny who just had a baby, was looking all over for it. I just purchased her a copy!"
A great cd to go to sleep with...

"I got this cd as a gift when my daughter was born. The first time I listened to it, I literally cried because it was so beautiful. The singer's voice is just perfect for lullabyes, very soothing and lyrical. I started playing it for my daughter when I rocked her to sleep as a newborn and now at nearly 2, when that cd comes on, she knows it's bedtime. After listening to it for 2 years for usually 2-3 times a day, I still love this cd."
Awsome musicianship, NOT too sweet or unvaried

"I almost didn't buy this because of the comments about Tina's voice being too sweet and the songs sounding the same. A sweet soprano could sound irritating if not well trained and sensitive to the music. This is NOT the case with Ms. Malia. She breathes new life into old stand-bys like Rockaby Baby, which I didn't expect to want to hear twice. She uses her voice as an instrument and works to create subtle and enchanting effects with the accompaniment - particularly striking are the pennywhistle and the sax. And as for the songs, the arrangements are wonderfully varied. It's SO much better than the Disney lullaby cd I also bought, on which so many of the songs are so synth-saturated that even with different singers they do sound the same.
My 20 month old son is captivated by the first few bars, and rarely stays awake for more than 4 songs. After he falls asleep I offer to turn it off and my husband always wants me to leave it on!
GET THIS!"
We LOVE this CD

"This is by far the best lullaby cd we have ever heard. Tina Malia's voice is soothing and melodic -- perfect for rocking little ones to sleep. But be careful, the songs are so soothing, parents are prone to fall asleep as well. It is truly a beautiful CD."
