Nathan Dailo uploaded the above video of his 3-month-old baby boy Seth to YouTube last month. In the video, Seth is awake and resting as his parents begin to gently brush a piece of tissue paper down the baby's face.

After a few brushes, Seth's eyelids become heavy, and it isn't long until the baby is completely asleep. The video quickly went viral, garnering almost 2 million views. Many commenters praised Dailo for his innovative tissue technique, but others claimed that the tissue technique still left their child restless.

"Unbelievable... Tried it for the 1st time this morning and it immediatey worked! My kid's going to sleep 23h and 50min a day from now on!" wrote YouTube user Manu Vandenbroucke.

"(My child) is not only wide awake but also tore the tissue I was trying to use... all I want to do is go to sleep," wrote YouTube user KRJesus.
