Absolutely!! When my daughter was 2 months old she was colicky the only thing that would calm her down was John Mayer’s song Waiting for the World Too Change… I would rock her and listen to that song and she would finally calm down. She is two years old now and to this day, she LOVES music!
Thank you very much for your comment. I have experienced much of the same especially with my youngest daughter. When she is in a bad temper I switch on “Postman Pat” and her mood shifts instantly. She sort of sings along, dancing and you can see from her body language that she is enjoying herself. It works fine just singing the song to her as well. – Andrea
