when you just can't listen to the wheels on the bus anymore...Here are 5 other options for baby music!

If you are "all done" with the Wheels On The Bus song, you're not alone! I have been slowly finding some fantastic things out there for baby to listen to! At 4-5 months old, baby gets 'bored' and is expecting some entertainment. Music has been essential to keeping peace and calm. He thoroughly enjoys listening to such a variety of music and its fun to see him anticipate some parts of songs. Here are some of our favorites!!

cocomelon

If you looked at previous posts I mention the CocoMelon YouTube Channel, which I am still a big fan of! I like the variety of songs and that they provide LYRICS! Why don't more people do that?! I can't remember the words to EVERY song! The animals and animations are cute and I love the stories they set to music! Like the three little pigs story/song! They also teach manners with the please and thank you song (and they use sign language in this video too! Double win!). 

lori berkner

Lori Berkner is a daily occurrence in our house! I find myself singing her songs when I am alone in my car and in the shower. Beware, they are super catchy. Best of all, my screaming child quiets instantly when he hears the intro to any of her songs. They are just engaging and usually there's an educational piece. She sings and plays guitar; it just works! 

barney

Good old Barney! I forgot my long time love of this weird purple dinosaur. I was a big Barney fan, so why would I expect any less from my own child!? He LOVES the songs! Right now he's too small to understand the episodes and it just isn't getting his attention, but the song compilation is PERFECT! He quiets down whenever I turn it on.

raffi

Along the same lines of Lori Berkner, but classic. I really just love the Baby Beluga song, but it's just so classic I had to throw it in! He also does the classic 'Down By The Bay' song. (Cocomelon's is better but shhh). Not as animated as I would hope, but still a good option. 

fantasia

So about a million years ago, Disney made a weird, somewhat random movie called Fantasia. You can find it on Disney+ if you have it. There's a newer version Fantasia 2000, but it's just not the same. If you are unfamiliar, it's classical music set to colors and pictures. Sometimes there is a storyline (i.e. Micky's infamous sorcerer's hat comes from this movie). My son absolutely loves this and it has gotten us out of quite a few jams (when screaming was more fun than anything else). It's not educational per se, BUT the music is complex and it's mostly colors and pictures set to classical music. It's an almost daily occurrence.
