cradlesong
Infant's sleep music
A cradlesong is a lullaby—a soft, soothing song sung to put a child to sleep.
The word emphasizes the setting: a parent or caregiver singing over a cradle.
It appears more often in literary or musical contexts than in everyday speech: Brahms composed his famous cradlesong in 1868.
