Little White Boat
小白船. Yes, this was the song I used to sing a lot when baby was in my tummy.
I can't recall what songs my mum used to sing to me when she tried to put me to sleep, probably a Hainanese folk song! Ha ha! All I can recall is that my aunt used to sing this song a lot when putting my cousin sister, Xiao Chuen to sleep.
When I sang to him this song, I could feel his responses in there, either kicking or turning.
When baby was in hospital 'sun-bathing' under the photo-therapy machine, I sang to him too;
And this happened a couple of times now: when I sing this song to him, he would lift up his head and actually stop suckling, stared hard into me, watching me and my lips and hearing intensely. Just the other night, when I was trying to put him to sleep with this song, he actually lift up his head again and watched me singing for the entire 3 rounds of the song!
It is simply amazing.
So, what song do you sing to your baby?
