Just about every parent has a handful of truly miserable stories from back when their kids were infants. That’s because, even though babies are fundamentally adorable and lovable, they’re also cranky, confused, and downright exhausting plenty of the time.
If you have a little one, or a big kid that used to be a little one, then you know that occasionally you’ll find yourself up at 6 am, running on 30 minutes of sleep, and trying to feed breakfast to someone who just will not eat. Parents handle this frustration in all sort of ways, like this mom and her controversial method for venting.
Meanwhile, other moms and dads try to let their babies self-soothe, though, as this video demonstrates, that is easier said than done. Most parents fall somewhere in the middle, relying on a few go-to moves to help soothe even the most stubborn of tantrums–like a quick car ride, or a white noise machine.
