Willie Nelson puts my baby to sleep

I discovered this when she was maybe 2 months old when Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain started playing in the car. She stopped whining and went straight to sleep. I’ve tried it a few times since then without fail.

She is now 7 months old and recently my sister and I took a trip a few states away with my baby for a funeral (we made MANY stops). The first night at the hotel and baby would not sleep. I started singing the song and just like that, she was out. When we went back home, we drove through the night so baby would travel easier. Every now and then she would get fussy and I told my sister to play Willie. Again, it was instant. My sister could not believe it. We did that a few more times and had a 100% success rate.

Now I’m trying to wean baby from nursing to sleep. A couple verses of me singing to her while rocking does the trick.

So friends, what’s your go-to song? And if you’re having trouble, give Willie a try!
