A social media-famous dad tested out hack that is rumored to put babies to sleep fast.
Austin Miles Geter, a comedic content creator from Texas, posted a Facebook video of himself holding his newborn daughter, Charlie, and saying, “I heard if you gently rub their eyebrows they go to sleep. So, I’m going to try it.”

The 59-second clip shows him gently stroking one of the newborn’s eyebrows until her eyes begin to close. Geter holds up his fist in victory as it appears that naptime has taken over for Charlie.
It is not clear where Geter heard of this tactic since he did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

However, the disposable diaper brand Huggies has a skin care guide published that suggests facial massages are “a really effective way to settle and calm your baby before a nap or when they’re fussing.” Particularly the scalp, forehead and nose bridge were reported to be the most soothing, according to the Australian division of Huggies.
Thousands of commenters flocked to Geter’s video to share their thoughts on the eyebrow method, some of whom tried it themselves and confirmed it worked while others shared their success with nose rubs much like Huggies suggested.

“I am going to have my 8-year-old try this on momma tonight. Hopefully it will work,” another user joked.
Geter got his start on the short-form video app Vine and had 1.5 million followers before the platform was shut down. As a dad, he shares videos of himself and Charlie across his social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
