Sarah Jane Ho's baby listens to Hanuman Chalisa!
Yes, you read that right. Sarah shared that she plays the Hanuman Chalisa for her four-month-old baby when he gets fussy. According to her, it helps soothe him and allows him to peacefully fall back asleep. Sharing a cute picture of her baby boy, she wrote, " 4 months old and some musings on becoming a mother at 40…
When baby is fussy or melting down, playing the Indian song Hanuman Chalisa calms him within 5 seconds and puts him to sleep in 2 minutes (I discovered this song from Indian friends at Burning Man and now play it on loop every morning) For the first 9 months baby doesn’t realize he’s a separate entity so whenever he cries I IMMEDIATELY pick him up. I don’t believe in letting him “cry it out."

She added, “Playing Brahms’ lullaby 8 minutes every day helps baby’s brain grow faster (there’s data behind this) I’m sending peanuts and soy milk to my surrogate (she is pumping breast milk for us) so that baby has early exposure and won’t get allergies (I’ve no idea if this is scientifically proven, I’m just following my intuition) (p.s. for more on my surrogacy journey listen to episode 69 of my podcast Hot Water) I’m also exposing baby J to friends and neighbours’ dogs so he won’t become allergic to pets later (again just following my intuition) Letting baby’s bare feet touch natural surfaces like stone, grass, or dirt supports their neurological and physical development so I am “grounding” him in the garden every day. Over 200k nerve endings in baby feet! Any more tips you can share with me that I can try out with baby J?”
