Many a Mother has altered the lyrics to Rock-a-bye baby…nice tune but rather uncomfortable storyline.

If you accept this celebration of birth, then the lullaby is a song about welcoming your baby into your arms. It is also Celebrating the placenta which cradled the baby in the womb. Marvelling at the feminine ability to bring new life, the woman is the tree of life, the provider of shelter, of strength or nourishment.
