Rockabye Baby! is a series of CDs geared toward infants and newborns, containing instrumental lullaby versions of popular rock bands including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. This CMH Records series debuted in 2006, and garnered many reviews from the music and entertainment industry, including MTV, The Boston Globe, Chicago Sun-Times, Entertainment Weekly, InStyle magazine, ABC World News, and The Washington Post. Rockabye Baby CDs were included in gift bags given to all of the survivors of the 2010 Cholera outbreak in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The series is produced by Lisa Roth, sister of Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth.

In 2011, Rockabye Baby! released their five-year anniversary compilation, Good Day, Goodnight, a 2-CD set featuring songs from previously released albums as well as several new songs.
