As a new parent, one of the most trying parts of caring for a baby is getting them to go to sleep.

However, you may be able to wave goodbye to sleepless nights thanks to one father who has come up with an amazing trick that can get your baby to sleep in less than one minute by using just TISSUE PAPER.

Nathan Dailo, from Sydney, uploaded a video to his YouTube channel demonstrating how he gets his three-month-old son Seth to fall asleep in just 42 seconds.

The clip that has now received almost 350,000 views sees the father gliding a piece of white tissue paper over his son’s face repeatedly until he dozes off.

Nathan uploaded the video, writing: “I’m sure every parent tries new things to put their little one to sleep.

“Watch as my wife and I put our 3-month-old baby boy, Seth, to sleep in under a minute using nothing but a piece of tissue paper.”

At the beginning of the video, baby Seth seems anything other than sleepy as he fidgets and whines in his cot.

Then Nathan slowly begins stroking Seth’s face gently with the piece of white tissue paper.

The first few strokes of tissue paper seems to have little effect on baby Seth who appears to be wide awake, but after the fifth stroke Seth’s eyes begin to droop.

He slowly begins to drift off, opening his eyes occasionally but by the 14th stroke he has drifted off entirely, and all in just 42 seconds.

It appears that Nathan is not the only one it has worked for, because one grateful viewer of the videocommented, “This worked for my baby 5 times already so thanks!”
