They took The Beatle's creativity, unique style, and fun imagery and created an adorable cover for this album that features The Beatles themselves as cute little teddy bears that are perfect for babies. It is very clever and enjoyable for sure.

Educational Value

This is a CD of baby sleep music that can certainly make a great difference in getting any sweet baby to sleep at night, but it is, of course, an especially wonderful choice for babies of fans of The Beatles. This is a perfect way for you to begin sharing your love of music with your little ones. It isn't the same thing as listening to the original tracks by The Beatles, but it is a really cool and familiar way to help your baby sleep or keep your focus while working.

Price Range

This lullaby CD is one of the more expensive choices on the list, but shouldn't be out of most budgets. It is fairly affordable, and when you consider the fact that it is full of songs from the very famous Beatles, it is definitely easy to see why it would cost a little more. It has very clear value with its amazing, famous songs and awesome album art.

Comfort

One awesome thing about this album is that it is purely instrumental, therefore there are no voices to distract your child from sleep. This is also a great way that Rockabye Baby! is able to take what would be generally considered adult content and make it appropriate for babies and children.

Effectiveness

With hits from Handel, Chopin, Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart, and more, this collection spans some of the greatest classical music out there. Classical music is a wonderful remedy for restlessness. The instrumentation is sometimes repetitive, which can help lull children to sleep, but phrases are never so redundant as to become grating.

Educational Value

Studies show that listening to music helps in retaining information, decreasing stress, improving sleep quality, and elevating our mood. It’s something of a brain workout and research suggests that there are a lot of health benefits both mental and physical associated with frequent music listening.

Price Range

This album is on sale for less than a dollar. Granted, it’s not a physical CD, it’s the collection of MP3 files. But you can easily set up a laptop in Baby’s room, transfer the music to a portable listening device, or go the old-fashioned route and burn a CD. You also have the option of purchasing the songs separately so you can pick and choose which ones you get--though that’s a more expensive route than just buying them altogether.

Comfort

We think children will love this beautiful background noise. At times classical music can be a little intense but this album does a good job of selecting brighter compositions. The files are not all equalized too, so you may want to group them by their volume or weed out ones that are too soft or too loud on your preferred level of playback. Just be sure not to leave it on too loud or Baby will be over-stimulated!

Effectiveness

Some children do better hearing other human voices in the room. Often times what stresses babies out the most is being alone. Hearing someone singing softly and confidently to them can help them relax and feel comfortable knowing that mom and dad really are looking out for them no matter what time of day or night it is.

Educational Value

Music provides a whole host of health benefits. Statistics link listening to music to an increased overall performance in activities as well as mood. A study also showed that students that listened to classical music for 45 minutes before bed slept better than their peers. So if you’ve got a tosser-and-turner, this may be just the thing to quiet them down and help them sleep.

Price Range

This falls right at the median price point for similar items. It also has more tracks than some other sleep collections in the same cost bracket.
