Editor's tip: With these three songs every baby falls asleep

Sleep child sleep. Swing. Swing. Seesaw. Seesaw. Getting babies to sleep is usually anything but easy and sometimes takes a lot of time and nerves. We got a good tip from our editorial team on how to make it easier.

Before there is an effective tip, a quick trip to our editorial team: Most of us are mothers and fathers. It makes sense that we often talk to each other across the desk or over our children while getting coffee. From "the baby just doesn't sleep", through the exhausting toddler years, to puberty problems and "my child is moving out now and it feels strange", everything is included. So we are real experts and very close to all parenting issues, about which we will of course also write for you.

Three songs for the three phases of falling asleep

As is so often the case, the topic was again: I just can't get my child to sleep – and our colleague Judith had a great tip that we didn't want to withhold from you:

The sleep playlist "Baby Sleep – music for mothers and babies to fall asleep". Although it means for mothers and babies, it is guaranteed to work for fathers too!

"My son's falling asleep was a rather difficult subject for us from the start," reports Mama Judith. "We tried everything and finally came across three great lullabies."

The playlist contains three songs for the three phases of falling asleep: calming down, getting sleepy and falling asleep. And that's exactly how the three songs sound. Very slowly, leisurely, dreamy and lulling, they accompany your sweetheart into the land of dreams – and sometimes you too. After a little over eighteen minutes, the songs are over. If necessary, you can also set the songs to run in a loop.

You can check out the playlist at either Spotify listen to or at Amazon Music to buy. If you don't know Spotify: This is a music streaming provider where you can listen to music up and down for free or as a subscription. In the free version, there are always spontaneous commercial breaks. The premium subscription starts at just under ten euros a month. You can choose from a simple subscription to an extensive family version.

Little extra tip: The free version of Spotify is very nice, but of course you run the risk of suddenly having an advertising break and your little one being torn out of the dreamland again. See how it works best for you.
