Mothers have been singing to their babies to lull them to sleep for centuries, and it always works. Research done at Université de Montréal has also proven the effectiveness of lullabies.
A cute clip of a mother singing lullabies to put her baby to sleep is melting hearts online.
The video shows the young mom bouncing her baby daughter on her knee when suddenly, the piano introduction to Rachel Platten’s “Better Place” floods the room.
The mom, Edwards, starts singing along, and from the little girl’s expressions, it’s clear that she loves the sound of her mama’s voice.
Edwards sings, “Your touch is sunlight through the trees, your kisses are the ocean breeze,” croons Edwards lovingly. The little lady she’s holding gradually grows calm and serene.
“And I hold my favorite thing, I hold the happiness you bring,” continues Edwards. A few measures later, she intones the sunny chorus, “It’s a better place since you came along.”
Sure enough, the baby yawns contentedly, and her eyelids begin to close as the music keeps playing. Soon, she snuggles her head against Mom’s supportive shoulder.
