My baby is six and a half months old. The other day we were at church and I knew she was amazingly tired but I just could not get her to fall asleep. My husband reached over and began softly stroking her eyebrows. Immediately her eyes started rolling back in delight and she dozed right off. She was sound asleep in seconds. It was absolutely amazing! I turned to my husband, astonished, and said, "How did you do that?!" He responded, "It works every time!" He continued to tell me that as long as she's drowsy and not ornery, she'll go right to sleep when you stroke her eyebrows. After thinking about this for a moment I turned to him and asked, "I've been struggling to get her to sleep for SIX MONTHS and you haven't taught me this 'til NOW?" He just laughed. Apparently it was his "secret weapon." At least he finally shared it with me. Since then I've tried it on a few other babies and seriously, it works like a charm!
What can I say? Daddy has the magic touch! And now you do too!
That is so true I do that and stroke between their eyebrows down her nose and it does the same trick! It really does work like a charm!
