Internet reacts to daddy’s technique of putting baby to sleep

Any mom, novice or experienced person would agree that sending a baby to sleep has proven to be a mission and a half on most occasions. It’s even harder if the baby is not sleepy and playing.

Varying from child to child, there are different techniques that can help put a baby to sleep. Some of them are swaddling, using a pacifier or breastfeeding, and using white noise.

TikTok user Dzunisani Khoza, who goes by the username @khoza.dzunnie recently took TikTok users by surprise when he shared how he puts his little princess to sleep with minimal effort.

Dzunnie recently took to his TikTok page to reveal how he puts his child on his back as a way of putting her to sleep. It seems like what shocked the internet is not the old technique that was used by our mothers and grandmothers, but how he did it seamlessly as a dad. The clip came with a POV: “When she thinks she can skip nap time.” He then humorously captioned his post: “Leave it to daddy.”

TikTok users took turns in sharing their opinions about this hands-on dad.

One user said:  “My brother you need share a tutorial on how to successfully do this.”

Another one said: “The sleep police have arrived make sure you do it everyday, proud of you man.”

While another one said: “My husband did this with all three kids. Even during the Soweto derby, he would come take the child from me and put them on his back.”

If his profile is anything to go by, Dzunnie is a present dad who is raising two daughters with his wife.
