Sleeping Baby

Parents with new-born babies often experience sleepless nights. 

While many parents find it difficult to put their kids to sleep, an Australian parent has now come up with an easy trick that has gone viral on social media.

Nathan Dailo used a simple tissue paper trick to put his baby to sleep in less than a minute. He simply slides a tissue paper over his 3-month-old son Seth's face, who dozes off within seconds.

While someone mentioned that Dailo used chloroform in the tissue, he denied. 

"No chloroform was used, I promise you," he said in the comment section of the video.

"We have found running your fingers over their forehead or over the bridge of their nose lightly will give the same effect too. We just thought a tissue would have a funny side to it! Its worked with a few others," said Dailo, who works as a Senior Web Designer at the THE ICONIC.

The viral video, uploaded on YouTube has received more than 1 million views within two weeks.

After watching the video, many even commented that the simple trick worked with their kids too.

I can confirm and safely say this did not work on my one year old.... in fact she's still very much wide awake at 11 pm.she is not only wide awake but also tore the tissue I was trying to use... all I want to do is go to sleep....
