When I was pregnant Euan was absolutely jumpy whenever I was playing music in the car - there's a particular Death in Vegas breakbeat track that he seemed to love, he'd go mental whenever it came on. And he loves electro and dub. Now that he's out, he still loves those tracks when he's in the car. The playlist that I had made for the birth also seems to calm him now (lots of dub and chill electronica), and we played it to put him to sleep in the first couple of days after he first came home.
But he's also fallen asleep to almost anything - my partner was playing At the Drive-in (I think it was, something noisy and a little bit angry) the other day and he liked them.
His first gig was the Live Earth concert at 20 weeks - he got bouncy during the John Butler trio but that could have been cos I was having a good dance too. He slept through Crowded House though...
Anything with a lot of bottom end they seem to like - the vibrations are slower! If I sing at my lowest range when I'm carrying him it puts him to sleep quicker than if I sing in a higher range.
Danniella, your bubba is probably just having a good dance, and will undoubtedly turn out to have excellent taste in music, just like his mum and dad!
