This trick for getting a baby to sleep looks too good to be true

We all love a hack but this can't be real?

Frustrated parents will resort to anything from rocking the buggy with one hand while cooking dinner with the other to driving the baby around for hours to get them to sleep. But what if there were an easier way? One dad's quick trick for making his baby nod off looks like witchcraft. This clip, which was first shared on Imgur, shows him gently stroking the baby's cheek and the baby dropping off in seconds.

We don't know what to make of this - we almost wish we had a baby on hand right now just to try it! If you give this a go, get in touch and let us know how you get on! Join the conversation in the Facebook comments or on Twitter at @HerFamilydotie.
