Rockabye Baby! is a cool series of music CDs made for babies and young children. These CDs feature instrumental versions of popular rock songs. Imagine your favorite rock tunes by bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin, but played softly like a lullaby!

This music series started in 2006 by CMH Records. It quickly became popular and was talked about by many famous music and entertainment groups. These included MTV, The Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, and Entertainment Weekly.

In 2011, Rockabye Baby! celebrated five years of making music. They released a special 2-CD set called Good Day, Goodnight. This set included songs from their older albums and some brand new ones too.

By January 2012, there were over 50 Rockabye Baby! albums available! They covered many different artists, from Journey to Björk and Kanye West. One newspaper, The Spokesman Review, said the music is "designed for modern-music-minded parents who want to share songs like Paranoid Android with their kids without scarring them for life." This means parents who love rock music can share it with their babies in a gentle way.

Some songs from the 2006 Rockabye Baby! album, Lullaby Renditions of Nirvana, were even used in the 2015 movie about Kurt Cobain called Montage of Heck. Also, in 2018, the Rockabye Baby! version of Nirvana's song "All Apologies" was featured in a Super Bowl commercial for T-Mobile.
