"Rock a bye baby, on the tree top When the wind blows, the cradle will rock When the bough breaks the cradle will fall Down will come baby, cradle and all" This is a very strange, unsettling lullaby that most children in the UK learn when they are very little! "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater" is quite a common saying meaning don't abandon the whole idea just because part of it doesn't work. "Don't be such a cry-baby" - is a rather nasty thing you might say to a child who appears to be crying over something trivial. "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings...." is a phrase that is always left unfinished and indicates that someone (usually a child, but not always) has naively said something of unexpected truth and insight. That's all I can think of for now.
