Kristen Bell Hilariously Demonstrated Modern Birthing Positions to Soon-to-Be Grandparents

Kristen Bell is doing her part to help future grandparents be the best they can possibly be. In a clip from her Momsplaining series, Kristen teaches grandparents-to-be about modern childbirth positions — including a few funny demonstrations about what they look like.

In the video, Kristen is teaching a grandparents' etiquette class

"Look, there's no such thing as the perfect grandparent. But today we are gonna figure out how to get you as close as we possibly can," she tells the small group she has gathered in front of her.

She seems prepared to do it, too, with a whiteboard in her classroom and everything. She's ready!

Kristen asked the class about birthing positions

They seem to think that "just laying down with my legs up in the stirrups" is the only way to give birth, but oh, how the times have changed! Kristen is totally willing to fill them in on the different positions that exist these days … even if she does take it to another level by demonstrating those positions herself.

In another clip, Kristen asks questions about the right way to care for babies

She asks the group if it's still right to put whiskey on a teething baby's gums, and one future grandma replies, "Yes," to which Kristen says, "That was real quick, Michelle."

Of course, that's another one of those things that's pretty outdated — teethers or the correct dose of Motrin work just fine — but that's why Kristen's here!
