cradlesongs
Tunes for infants
Cradlesongs are lullabies—soft, soothing songs sung to lull infants to sleep.
The word evokes the gentle rocking of a cradle paired with a parent's quiet singing: She hummed the same cradlesongs her mother had sung to her.
The term is somewhat literary; lullaby is more common in everyday speech.
