itu Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Any music is good music. Remember, that for some time you are the one that makes the song choices. My sons are already so big, that father's music is like I am, outdated. By the way, this was my road to happiness, when boys did not sleep: https://www.amazon.com/Tone-Fitness-Stability-Exercise-Equipment/dp/B07P5VYNZ1 I sat down on it and started to move a little while holding the kid in my arms. Boys fell to sleep in minutes. I saved gallons of gasoline and did not have to leave the house. The best £20 spent ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The wonderful thing about children is that they’re unique. You’ll find your way! My kids don’t have much time for bass, but they love acoustic guitar. It might sound like the Waltons, but being able to strum a few chords and play a few songs or nursery rhymes is wonderful. Both of my daughters (3 and 1) love the guitar and we’ve got 3 around the house. Congratulations too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDaveTheBass Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Congratulations! When my first daughter was born (21 years ago this week!) the household was mostly listening to 'Big Calm' by Morcheeba and lots of Bob Marley. (The same daughter's first word was "tar", pointing at my acoustic (gui)tar hung on the wall behind me as she stood on my lap).

Graham Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Congratulations! For our smallest, I found instrumental post-rock worked quite well - GSY!BE, Explosions In The Sky, Red Sparrows, This Will Destroy You etc Alternatively, try this playlist I made There are studies that show babies fall asleep to certain rhythms, Mariah Carey seems to use those, giving her the nickname Magic Mariah in our house 😃 Also, try the albums by Rockabye Baby - they do lullabye versions of all your favourite bands - I use the Tom Petty and Metallica albums on Spotify quite often Edited September 20, 2019 by Graham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you reprimanded her and pointed her towards the bass instead! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Strangely, Mini-Mooseblaster used to be calmed by Black Sabbath and Motorhead when he was very young... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, daughter #1 sings like an angel and dances like a professional, but never took to stringed instruments. It's daughter #2 who's got my old Westone Thunder in a rack in her bedroom.

Stingray5 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Not sure if you do fretless (not that it necessarily matters in this case) but here's Jaco at his chilled-out best.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
