I save those big guns for desperate times- he had to get stitches last weekend, so I must have sung both about 100 times while we were in the ER, almost every time he calmed right down no matter what we were doing to him. My SIL sings her boys to sleep every night, it usually takes only 1-2 songs before they are out. mrbee on "How often do you sing your child to sleep?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-sing-your-child-to-sleep#post-1267487 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 23:01:52 +0000 mrbee 1267487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Katrocap: Charlie used to make me sing to him every night and it never put him to sleep... but once I started saving it for special occasions and stroking his hair while I sang, it started working like magic!

Otherwise, he'd ask for songs every night... and I've already seen that movie before! And I didn't like how it ended... or rather, seemed to never end!! I guess I sing him to sleep maybe 1-2x a month? Tonight was a night of song... How often do you sing your child to sleep?
