Songs for a Summer Birth PlayList

You may think that music is music and that it doesn’t matter what season your baby is due, but you are wrong! (Although, it is your birth – so, I guess I won’t judge whatever music selection you make.) But if you are like me, then you may feel connected to the season you are birthing in, and with that comes the music that accompanies that season.

Thinking about your upcoming birth and the atmosphere that you would like during the birth can be heavily influenced by the music you have playing in the background. Music can play a huge role in labor no matter where you choose to birth. A hospital, birth center, or birth in your own home – all can be made peaceful and special by choosing a playlist that will make you feel happy and loved throughout labor. So, charge those bluetooth speakers and pack them in your birth bag!

All of my friends at My Baby's Heartbeat Bear have helped to compile an awesome list of song suggestions to be included in a summer birth, but of course, you can use any of your personal favorites! Some will tug at heart-strings, others will make you laugh, but all will help you push through labor to meet your baby.

Totally recommend 100% great gifts and customer service is amazing. Thank you so much Breann for assisting me! I got my grandmother the angel bear singing happy birthday from her mother who passed away last year. She would always call and sing happy birthday to all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. ALL of them. Never missed one. And this helped her to still have that last year and many years to come.

Where to begin. My son Davin was stillborn last year and I was for fortunate enough to have had his heart beat recorded. I found healing in taking My Heartbeat Bear animals and adding weight to them for other bereaved parents to have something special to hold and cuddle. I’ve since started a non profit called Our Baby’s Legacy for pregnancy and infant loss support, and these weighted animals are a big part of what we do.
The product My Baby Heartbeat Bear makes is really great quality, which is extra important for me considering they may become some parents most cherished possessions after their loss. The animals are super soft and I absolutely love the vintage design where they are floppy and cuddly, and just the perfect size. I also love that there are so many choices, I’m always touched by why one parent chooses one over the other. Seems like a small feature, but to be able to choose a cow because thief nursery was to be barnyard themed, or a bunny bc their baby was born in the spring, is something very special.
I also have found working with the company to be a wonderful experience. Sheldon is who interact with most. When first setting up my account he offered a free sample and has since sent me samples of other items by them. I’ve had to call and add last minute animals to my order or request they be processed ASAP and he and the other staff have always been very accommodating.
I can’t say enough about how easy they make my job. they don’t likely know it but they are making a massively positive impact in the bereavement community with these animals through Our Baby’s Legacy. The animals bring light and comfort into the lives of an otherwise dark and broken place.
