If you’re the parent or caregiver for a baby who’d like to help them get to sleep quicker, I (YOU) was going through my show notes and rediscovered the story of Nathan Dailo from Sydney, Australia, who uploaded a video to YouTube which shows his method for getting his then three-month-old son Seth to close his eyes and get some rest. Dailo strokes Seth’s face repeatedly, and very gently, with a sheet of tissue paper. In 42 seconds, the baby is asleep. • VIDEO
