THE MAMA SUTRA: Ancient Positions and Practices to Soothe the Modern Baby

By Allie Kingsley Baker & Tony Baker, The Mama Sutra is an essential parenting handbook to more than forty methods to calm fussiness, encourage bowel movements, and (the holy grail) help everyone get back to sleep. This illustrated guide is a must-have for new parents and the ultimate gift for every baby shower.

Tricks like the Lucky Rabbit, the Drunk Monk, the Spraying Mantis, and other time-tested and scientifically proven techniques were developed with help from experts in the ancient art of holistic healing. Whether your little one is experiencing reflux, colic, constipation, or something you can’t quite identify, the simple and fun positions, holds, and massages in this adorable illustrated guide present solutions to soothe them, one beneficial pose at a time. You will become your baby’s own enlightened guru.

Each of these five categories feature entertaining and educational content with illustrations:

GAS GURU:Un-passed gas is a pain in the ass for little ones. These positions will turn you into a flatulence aficionado.
BURPING BUDDHA:Most of an infant’s physical discomfort stems from ineffective burping techniques. There is a plethora of positions to release your baby’s inner bullfrog.
SHITTING SHAMAN: What goes in eventually comes out but sometimes it requires extra finesse. These positions help move things along and offer instant relief.
SOOTHING SAGE:Babies can be irrational. Sometimes it’s not the eating, sleeping, or shitting that’s got them upset but rather something even they can’t put their tiny finger on. This section features holding and swaddling positions such as the Lazy Lotus, the Hava Nagila, and the Heisman.
DIVINE DREAMER:Sleep. It’s the holy grail of parenthood. No doubt about it, infants belong on their back. But what happens when (like ours) your baby prefers to sleep on their side? You fake it ’til they can make it, that’s what.

This charming illustrated guide to burping, stimulating, and soothing your baby is both holistic and medicinal so parents everywhere can keep their sanity while helping their infant find inner peace.
