Pop tunes 'used to calm babies'

Rocking a baby to sleep has been given a whole new meaning as some mothers ditch traditional lullabies for popular pop and rock tunes.

Songs such as Robbie Williams' Angels and Oasis anthem Wonderwall proved popular in the poll of 2,000 mothers.
The survey found nearly two-thirds thought pop ballads could be better for getting babies to sleep than lullabies like Rock-a-Bye Baby.
The Baby Website, which carried out the research, said it was surprised.
Spokeswoman Kathryn Crawford suggested mothers were being influenced by the music they were listening to during the day.
