Every new parent knows, getting your baby to sleep is priority number one! In those early months, finding the perfect trick to make them magically drift off can seem as easy as finding a Unicorn in your backyard.
Rocking, singing, even driving them around the neighborhood in the middle of the night — we will do whatever it takes to get them to drift off. But sometimes no matter what you do, they just won't stop fussing.
When my daughter was a baby, she was a terrible sleeper. Exhausted and at my wits end, I would try any seemingly crazy suggestion that was given in an attempt to get a few minutes of rest.
Run the vacuum? Check. Lean up against the dryer? Check. Aromatherapy and baby massage? Check, check.
But, much to my disappointment, nothing worked the way I hoped it would. So where was this video a few years ago when I really needed it?
Nathan Dailo, father to a three-month-old baby boy (and master magician?) demonstrates the most amazing and unusual technique for getting his son to sleep — in just 40 seconds and using nothing but a tissue! By simply stroking the baby's forehead and face with the tissue, he is able to get him to go from fussy and squirming to sound asleep. Could it really be that easy?
This may just be the mother of all life hacks!
