Laura Gerson was dealing with one of those perplexing situations that new parents are all too familiar with:

How do we get our little angel to sleep through the night without constantly waking up?

Her baby girl Amelia was always waking up during the night, and she was determined to do whatever she could to help her child get more peaceful rest.

Laura finally put two and two together as to what the problem was, and she came up with a rather ingenious solution.  

She would proudly share what she came up with in a post on social media.

“Weird bedtime routine that’s worked… Lol

Since my little one was about 3 months old she’s gone to bed with roughly 10 dummies in with her.

Found that when she cried of a night all she wanted was a dummy then she’d go back off.

Realised that if she had one to hand then she would just find it of a night, trial and error with her losing a few down the side but 99% of the time she feels around, finds a dummy, sticks it in and she’s sorted!

Haven’t had to go into her of a night for about 8 months now… WINNING!!

I don’t even wanna think about the time when the “Dummy Fairy” comes to take them away tho…

It seems to be working like a charm, so hats off to mom for finally getting to the bottom of things.

And frustrated parents everywhere just learned a new “Raising Baby Hack” that could result in a LOT more restful nights…for everyone!

Well, there are some parents who think this trick doesn’t work, or simply don’t like the idea of pacifiers. Can’t please everyone, of course.

As for little Amelia, though, she’s going to have little trouble sleeping through the night anymore, and that’s a welcome relief for Laura.

We have a sneaky suspicion she’ll be benefiting from some extra rest moving forward as well.

Simple ideas like this really need to start circulating, because new parents need all the help they can get.

Come on, admit it…this parenthood thing isn’t especially easy, is it?
