Traditional Lullabies Booted in Favour of Pop Songs
Pop songs rather than lullabies are what a third of mums are now singing their child to sleep with.
According to findings by Emma’s Diary, 31 per cent belt out a chart topper rather than traditional tunes.
A 35 per cent of mums said they were simply more familiar with the lyrics of pop songs and 37 per cent sang songs they felt more connected to.
The top ten most popular songs some parents bizarrely thought a good idea to sing to babies were found to be:
Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud
Adele – Hello
Bob Marley – Don’t Worry About A Thing
Adele – Someone Like You
Sam Smith – Stay With Me
Tracey Chapman – Fast Car
Ellie Goulding – Love Me Like You Do
Beyoncé – Halo
Oasis – Wonderwall
Taylor Swift – Shake It Off
