Chinese Mother Shares Use of Hanuman Chalisa to Calm Her Four-Month-Old Baby
Sarah Jane Ho, a 40-year-old Chinese entrepreneur and mother based in Los Angeles, shared her parenting practices for her four-month-old son, including playing the Hindu devotional hymn Hanuman Chalisa to calm him within seconds and help him sleep. She discovered the chant through Indian friends at the Burning Man festival and now plays it daily. Ho also avoids letting her baby cry it out, introduces early exposure to foods and animals to potentially reduce allergies, and incorporates other soothing music like Brahms' lullaby into his routine.
