About the Lullaby Bank
These sessions have been specifically designed for the needs of new mothers, addressing the post-partum experience, and all the challenges and joys it can bring, through song and play.
During the hour-long class we sing a variety of lullabies from around the globe, in English and other languages, whilst enjoying how they open up a new world of soothing and story-telling to our babies.
Singing to our babies has been a cross-cultural and generational tool for thousands of years, and is scientifically proven to encourage a serotonin (the happy hormone!) release in both the singer and the recipient, as well as to encourage communication, and later speech, in infants.
We do some baby-massage and basic signing, as well as some play time rhymes and songs.
The class is built to work for babies from 0-9 months, to remain as calming and relaxing a space as possible (i.e.; before they can crawl/walk too far).
The class also offers a breast-feeding safe space, and a chance to connect with other new mums in what can often be a very isolating and exhausting time.
Do email us c/o nottsmusichub@inspireculture.org.uk if you have any questions.
