Since it came up on the Beyoncé 2013… thread: what are some tracks featuring the sound of the artist's own baby? (Let's stick with newborns, not a teenage daughter's guest vocal.)

Classic example: Stevie Wonder - Isn't She Lovely?
Obscure example: BT - Dynamic Symmetry

there is at least one Boredoms track that does this.

there's a Low track that does this, 'in metal' i think?

the thread title by itself made me think of the producer sampling his crying children on Lou Reed's "The Kids."

Allegedly got them to cry, and to cry out for their mom, by telling them (falsely) that their mom had died and wasn't coming home. At least that's what the Allmusic Guide trivia said.

If you're thinking of "Super 77" it was their manager's kid.

If you're thinking of "EYE Loves Minga" it was the daughter of Shoei Go (a friend who ran the Japan Overseas label).
Shoei started an organic farm here: http://mingavillage.org/e/welcome.html
