Watch How To Get Your Baby To Fall Asleep In Under ONE MINUTE
Could this be the magic solution for all sleep-deprived parents?

From using blackout blinds, to trying baby massages and white noise, exhausted parents will try almost anything to get their little one to sleep.
But one dad may have solved the mystery of sleep and figured out how to lull a child into a slumber in under a minute. Yes, one single minute.
Nathan Dalio, from Sydney, uploaded a video of how he sends his three-month-old son Seth to sleep in just 40 seconds. And all you need to recreate the trick is a single white tissue paper.
The video shows Nathan repeatedly stoking his son’s face with the tissue until Seth drifts off. Just like that.
“I’m sure every parent tries new things to put their little one to sleep,” the dad wrote alongside the video. “Watch as my wife and I put our three month old baby boy, Seth, to sleep in under a minute using nothing but a piece of tissue paper.”

Since it was uploaded on YouTube two weeks ago, the video has had over 150,000 views and appears to have worked for a number of desperate parents already.
“This worked for my baby 5 times already so thanks,” commented Belle928.
Another user, Manu Vandenbroucke, commented, “Unbelievable… Tried for the 1st time this morning and it immediately worked!”
Nathan also has some other advice for parents. “We have found running your fingers over their [the baby’s] forehead or over the bridge of their nose lightly will give the same effect too,” he wrote on the comment thread.
