My DD loves when I sing to her, but I feel like I sing the same few songs over and over.
I need some fresh ideas. I mostly sing:
You Are My Sunshine
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Re: What songs do you sing to LO?
DD absolutely loves I'm a Little Teapot with the motions. I do the motions with her hands once in a while too and she giggles every time!
We also do the ones you put above, but I also do:
Jesus Loves Me
This Little Light of Mine
Ring Around the Rosy
ETA ohh and Row Row Row Your Boat. I make rowing motions with her arms and she loves that too.

Hush Little Baby - I'm getting sick of this song, but he knows when I sing it its nap/bed time.
We currently sing and dance to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift and All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor. I act like an idiot dancing and singing and DS LOVES it!
Ok ready to embarrass myself:
Close your eyes,
Go to sleep,
Think of nice things,
Like boobiesssss!
(He is a comfort nurser)
Row your boat
Twinkle twinkle
Baa baa black sheep
Mary had a little lamb
And this Caribbean song that goes...
Clap hand for mami til dada come
Bring cake and sugarplum and give baby some.
She loves it!

You are my sunshine
When She Says Baby by Jason Aldean - she loved in when she was inside and now loves it outside of me too. I used to point to my bump on the word "baby". Now I just point at Delaney and she smiles.
FI plays/sings a song by Bob Marley called No woman No cry. We started playing it on our phones when she would flip her shit as a newborn. Still works to calm her down.
Taylor swift Shake it off makes him laugh
Somewhere out there when it's bed time or to calm him down
Old McDonald with his new animal puppets from Christmas
Who's that girl?
It's [insert name]!
