# A song for a new big brother or big sister A big brother or big sister song is a song about your older child, not the baby: it sings their name, tells them they are still loved just as much, and gives them a few proud jobs to do for the new baby. You give us both first names and a few details, approve the words, and an AI music model sings it in minutes. ## Why the song is about the older child When a baby arrives, the gifts, visits and photos tend to be about the baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics' parent site notes that preschoolers may feel they need to compete for your attention, and that a little regression, such as baby talk, is to be expected. A song with their own name in the chorus is one small thing that is only theirs. The lyrics are written to be proud and reassuring: they are still the same loved child, and now they also have an important new job. ## What to put in a new baby sibling song - **The older child's name** goes in the chorus. Write the baby's name in the details; it appears in the verses. - **Jobs they can do**: fetch the diaper, pick the baby's socks, sing to the baby, show the baby their toys. - **What stays the same**: the bedtime story with Dad, the park on Saturdays, being Mom's helper. - **What they love**: their own favorite animal or game, so the song is about them as a person, not only as a sibling. - **How they say "big brother" or "big sister"**, if they have their own word for it. ## When to play it: before and after the baby arrives **Before the birth.** The AAP suggests talking about the baby, reading books about new siblings and showing your child their own baby pictures. Nemours KidsHealth suggests telling young children the baby will come in a season, such as winter, rather than counting months. A song can fit into those talks: "when the snow comes, you'll be a big sister". **The first meeting.** Play it in the car on the way to meet the baby, or at home the first day. **The weeks after.** The AAP suggests special one-on-one time with the older child and inviting them to help. Make the song part of that time: just the two of you, their song, ten minutes on the couch while someone else holds the baby. ## How it works - Fill in the form: the older child's first name, their age band, "big sibling", and the details, including the baby's first name. - An AI writer drafts the lyrics about a minute after payment. Change any word, or ask for a fresh draft with a note (up to 3). - An AI music model sings it in about 2 to 4 minutes in the playful style (ukulele, xylophone, handclaps), or pick gentle for a calmer child. - Make up to 3 sung versions and keep one. You get an MP3 and a private page to send to grandparents. ## Price, and a song for each child One price per song, shown on this page, paid once with no subscription. Many families make the big sibling song and a [new baby song](/songs/personalized-song-for-new-baby) at the same time, so nobody is left out; packs of 5 and 20 bring the price per song down and never expire. See [pricing](/pricing). ## Example lyrics Made with Still Morning for a made-up example, from these details: "Three and a half. Becoming a big brother to baby June in December. He wants to show her his fire trucks and teach her to roar. His jobs: fetching diapers and choosing her socks. Bedtime story with Daddy stays the same. Loves hide and seek.". **Big Brother Ethan** ``` [Verse 1] A tiny baby, June, is near She'll be here when December's here You can show her your fire truck And teach her how to roar with luck You'll fetch diapers, soft and white And pick her socks, all warm and bright [Chorus] Ethan, you're a big brother now We love you more than ever, wow You'll help her learn and play and grow And we will never let you go [Verse 2] You'll play hide and seek, peek-a-boo She'll giggle when she finds you too You'll choose the socks for tiny toes The ones with stripes or maybe bows And when the day is almost done Your bedtime story's still the one [Chorus] Ethan, you're a big brother now We love you more than ever, wow You'll help her learn and play and grow And we will never let you go [Bridge] ``` ## What it cannot do A song will not stop jealousy or fix a hard adjustment; it is a small, kind gesture, not a parenting method. If your older child is struggling for weeks, talk to your pediatrician. The song is about one child; for twins becoming big siblings, make one song each. ## Questions **Are there new baby sibling songs with my child's name?** That is what this page makes: a new song about your older child, with their name in the chorus and the baby's name in the verses. **Can the song mention the baby before it is born?** Yes. If the name is chosen, write it in. If not, write "the baby" or the nickname you use, and keep the details about the season or the nursery. **What age is a big sibling song for?** Mostly children from about 2 to 7. For a toddler, pick the toddler age band so the lines are short with actions to copy. For a school-age child, the words get a bit more grown-up. **Is it a good big brother or big sister gift?** It works well alongside a small present "from the baby". Our [big sibling gift ideas](/guides/big-sibling-gift-ideas) guide has more. **Can the song be from the new baby?** Yes, if you like: write "from baby June" in the "from" field. Many families keep it from Mom and Dad instead. ## Sources - American Academy of Pediatrics (HealthyChildren.org), [Preparing Your Older Child for a New Baby: How to Help Siblings Adjust](https://healthychildren.org/English/ages-stages/prenatal/Pages/Preparing-Your-Family-for-a-New-Baby.aspx), 2026-02-10.
