Lullaby and Goodnight
When my first child was born we loaded up on kids' music CDs, especially those that advertised themselves as "soothing" and "relaxing" for babies. Most of them are great, like the classical Brahms At Bedtime and Jason Falkner's brilliant Bedtime With The Beatles.
Our most favorite of all, and one we still listen to on a regular basis, is an Australian compilation called Lullaby and Goodnight that features soothing and playful songs by popular musicians from down under, including Paul Kelly, Colin Hay, Paul Hester, and David Bridie.
This disc is, unfortunately, out-of-print now. But it's well worth seeking out on eBay or through other used CD outlets on the Internet.
Here are two songs from the disc...
Listen: Martin Plaza - "While You Sleep" MP3
Martin Plaza is a member of the Australian band Mental As Anything, which has a new Best Of CD worth checking out if you like quirky 80's music.
Listen: Joe Creighton - "So Still He Lies" MP3
Joe Creighton has been a longtime session bass player and backing vocalist for artists such as Kylie Minogue, Crowded House, and Olivia Newton John, as well as a solo artist in his own right.

Thanks for the CD tip! If you are looking for a nice contemporary colletion of kids music, I would highly recommend a CD called For the Kids, featuring the Barenaked Ladies, Cake and Sarah McLaughlin. Heck, there is even a Tom Waits song for good measure (although it did scare the bejezus out of my 16 month old).
