Babies are often rocked to sleep in a cloth hammock called a "võng."
A võng swings gently side to side. The rocking and the soft singing make babies sleepy.

Vietnamese lullabies are called "hát ru," sung softly to help babies sleep.
Many hát ru begin with the gentle sounds "à ơi" to soothe a baby.
Grandmothers and mothers pass hát ru down by heart, song after song.
Many lullabies use words from old folk poems called "ca dao."
Hát ru is one of the oldest singing traditions in Vietnam.
