10 Ways to put your baby to sleep according to one funny dad

3 min read

There's a new social media star in town and he's probably the only new dad who hasn't been losing sleep.

Apparently, he's unlocked the elusive secret to dominating bedtime--or, at least that's what he'd like us to believe.

Meet Jordan Watson, a New Zealand-based papa, and the brains behind How to DAD who describes his page as “parenting advice you’ll actually want to listen to,” and it takes just a quick scroll on the page to see why.

His latest video offers tips on "How to Put a Baby to Sleep" and it will leave you laughing out loud because of how relatable they are. Most parents have tried just about anything to get their baby to sleep but this hilarious video shows that Jordan may very well be the only one who's "succeeded".

Whether your strategy is to lie down with your baby until they doze off or to just let them "cry it out", all parents can't escape being slaves to their kids' bedtime schedule.

But Jordan is finding humor in this nightly struggle with the help of his daughter who's a little over a year old and totally stealing the show---fake-sleeping on command and giving her dad high fives!
