    This is an awesome playlist! I couldn’t find some of them yet but I’m looking forward to listening to them all. I think they’ll be a hit at my friends shower. Thanks for sharing! :)

    1. Nicole, I’m so glad you enjoyed the list! Just let me know if you need any help tracking any of them down. :-)

    2. Excellent idea.I want to do this for my nieceโ€™s baby shower. How did you actually copy the songs to play? Did you use an MP3 player!

  2. I’d like to add “How Sweet it Is” by James Taylor. Such a great song!

    1. Lisa, that’s such a great suggestion! I was just singing that to my baby girl the other day. Thanks for stopping by to share that one. :-)

  3. Puff the magic dragon by Peter Paul and Mary

  4. Lenka- The Show
    Phil Collins- Strangers Like Me

    Thanks for a great list!

  5. Aubrey Denton says:

    This is just what I didn’t know I was looking for, haha! Thank you for sharing!

    1. Aubrey, my pleasure! I just love all these songs, so it makes me happy to share them. :-)

  6. Britney Spears’ song My Baby is a really lovely song as well or even Someday (I Will Understand) which is by her as well.

    1. Brittany, thank you for the recommendation! I will give those a listen right now. :-)

  7. Araceli Munoz says:

    I love this list I am definitely using it for the baby shower I am planning next week. Thank you so much :)
    Phil Collins – You’ll Be in My Heart
    I sung this song throughout my pregnancy to my little man.

    1. Araceli, I’m so glad to hear this list was useful to you in your shower planning! I love that you sang the same song to your little guy while you were pregnant. And what a sweet song! The song I’ve always sung to Bailey is much less inventive – Hush Little Baby. :-)

  8. mamas song by carrie underwood makes me think of my sweet little girl growing up

  9. Was making a list of my own and needed some more ideas, and your playlist is exactly what I’m going for. A few I already had (some not as contemporary as others, but I still dig ’em):
    The Mamas and Papas rendition of Dream a Little Dream is my favorite. I sing it to my stinker bell every night.
    Ray Lamontagne- Hold You in My Arms
    Ronettes- Be My Baby
    Elton John- Your Song

    1. Amy, thank you for adding more to our ongoing list! Also, I just love that you call your little one stinkerbelle. I use that one too! :-)

  10. This is a wonderful list! I am helping to plan a baby shower for My son and someday daughter-in-law(hopefully) and came upon this. They will love it, thank you!

    1. Michelle, I hope the baby shower went well! I’m happy to have helped a small bit. :-)

  11. love this list, thanks so much, I was just sitting down to make a list for my sister’s shower and I found your list first. Perfect

  12. Great list. Thank you so much for posting it. I am going to use every song you listed.

    1. Kat, I’m happy you enjoyed it! I’d love to hear how the baby shower goes. :-)

  14. kimbfaria says:

    Add Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely”. Beautiful song.

  15. Elizabeth Marie says:

    great post! thanks!

  16. You did an awesome job with this playlist!! I so love this list!! I will be using it as well! Thank you so much for sharing!!

  17. I agree – this is the list I didn’t know I was looking for! Thank you so much for putting this together!Other playlists were too cheesy for me. I added a few:
    Feist – 1234, Mushaboom
    Jack Johnson – Better Together, Angel, Lullabye
    Edward Sharpe – Home
    Michael Buble – Dream a Little Dream
    But I only thought of these after your inspiration! Thanks again!

  18. Rebecca Dore says:

    Banana Pancakes by Jack Johnson always reminds me of my kids. :)

  19. Here’s a song just released on iTunes in November: “Father Daughter Song It’s Your World” by yours truly, Jimmy Wendt. Rockin’ upbeat song dedicated to my two amazing girls. The lyrics start with:

    Welcome home, glad you’re here.
    It’s a fragile world but have no fear.
    I will love you all that I can.
    Look up at me, squeeze my hand…

    Enjoy.

  20. Sophie Phillips says:

    Lovely pick of songs, thank you so much. I have added some of my own…love Feist and so also added Mushaboom. Van Morrison- Sweet Thing. Billy Joel- She’s always a woman (cos we need to celebrate US too). Stevie Wonder- signed sealed delivered. Bob Marley 3 Little Birds (3 is the magic no. in our case!) Xxx

  21. rec Eduardo says:

    Great list….add “safe and sound”–capital cities and “I’ll be there” by M.Jackson.

    1. Erica Schultz says:

      I love Safe and Sound. It was our intro song at our wedding. Addictive song lol

  22. I love this playlist. I would definitly add Take your time girl from Niels Geusebroek. I dont think you know it but it was a hit here in the netherlands and the melody is to the heartbeat of an unborn baby.

  23. Ahmed-Egypt says:

    Will definitely use most of these songs in my upcoming baby shower this Friday, wish me luck!! Thank you so much! Love from Egypt :)))

  24. Susie Huffman Martinson says:

    Teach your children by Crosby Stills and Nash. Have to add it for nostalgias sake it’s one of my faves. Lullabye baby blues by Keb Mo and maybe even you are my sunshine, I know it’s a bit over the top ridiculousness but admit it, everyone hums along ….

  25. I love “my girl” and Butterfly kisses

  26. through my daughters eyes

  27. Robin Kramer says:

  30. Christina Doss says:

    You are my Sunshine by Morgan Stapleton featuring Chris Stapleton.

  31. Thank you!! Incredible playlist!!

  32. Sandi Knowler says:

    SweetLife by Paul Davis

  33. This is such a great playlist, especially with the additions everyone made in the comments! I’d also add Danny’s Song (Loggins and Messina). :)

  34. “Baby Love” and “Sweet Child of Mine”

  35. Thank you for taking the time to create this! It was an overwhelming task to create my own playlist but found this and it’s perfect!
