It’s a universal parenting struggle to get your baby to go to sleep.

In a video originally uploaded by French magazine Pour Nous Femmes, a mom reveals the sweet and charming way in which she gets her baby to go to sleep.
With over 50, ooo shares, this viral parenting hack has not only entertained but helped many parents worldwide.
Try it for yourself!
Start by sitting in a comfortable position with your child firmly on your lap…
Then begin a gentle massage, tracing circles around your kid’s head and face repeatedly.
In the clip, the baby boy seems to be resistant at first but soon, we see his adorable eyes start to close.
Continue tracing circles, but this time with two fingers, across both sides of the face.
Though the little boy in the video’s eyes flutter open for a bit, he eventually lets himself drift off and his mom gently pulls him closer in a warm embrace.
Keep tracing those hypnotic circles (try not to laugh at how adorable your kids looks as you do this!)
When it is clear that your little one is off to dream land, pull him closer in a gentle, warm embrace.
Then, kiss the top of their head and say good night.
We wonder if this works on adults, too?
