19 month old hums to sleep

[calamariri]

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to hear your experience in this. DS is 19 months and has always hummed himself to sleep. He doesn't hum during the day when he is awake unless he is being bf or falling a asleep. When he was an infant, I used to gently rock him with a humming noise that sounded as mmm mmm mmm or I made it sound like a nursery rhyme as twinkle twinkle little star as I have an awful voice. So as DS got older, I noticed that he was actually imitating my hums but I've stopped humming him since 12 months ago and adopted the shhhh instead. I've never heard any other baby before humming themselves to sleep just occasional short hums. The hums go on for about min 30 mins before he falls asleep. If I'm driving and he falls asleep in the car seat he doesn't hum or if he falls asleep in his pushchair outdoors he doesn't hum. It's only when we are at home he does this. Is this normal and have you experienced this before?

Many thanks 🙏

I’ve not heard of it but it sounds adorable to me!

My 2.5yo sings herself to sleep and has donw from a similar age. Won't sing for me during the day but as soon as lights out endkess rounds of wind the bobbin up/twinkle twinkle/wheels on the bus/santa claus is coming to town /this is halloween I would've thought it was quite common tbh and definitely nothing to worry about xx

Thank you for your responses 🙏 . The humming sound does sound cute but not after 30 mins where his voices starts getting croaky . this is Halloween made lol I've had this tune in my head all week 😂
