Parenting is full of ups and downs, which is why it can be crucial to find some tips and hacks that will ultimately help moms and dads care for their kids. Caring for children all the way from the time they’re infants through the time they are ready to enter adulthood is full of challenges. It can be especially tiring for parents of young children whose little ones struggle to sleep at night since babies and toddlers are known for being especially fussy and typically resort to crying and refusing to turn in for the night.

Luckily, one mom on TikTok has found a hack that is sure to help any parent struggling to get their young ones to sleep soundlessly through the night. After testing and reviewing plenty of parenting tips and tricks, Alison — a mother on TikTok, has found one that has always worked at helping her daughter get a good night’s sleep every single night. She has been using the hack for months and has continued to use it since it works so seamlessly well.

It’s common for parents to share what they’ve learned with other parents who may be struggling with similar issues, which is exactly what this TikTok mom has gone on to do. Alison has gone on to help other parents with getting their own little ones to sleep at night and has inspired others to try out the simple hack. All you need is one sleepless child and a banana, and you are sure to be just as shocked as Alison was with the results.

Getting a good night’s rest is important for everyone, especially babies and toddlers, as they require an ample amount of sleep to help with their development. Cafe Mom detailed a few tricks that mothers from all over have tried out, finding specific ones that work for their kids. “I put her in her car seat, put the car seat on top of the dryer, and turned it on,” one mother said. 

Another mom explained how she got her daughter to fall asleep: “When my daughter was just a few months old and my oldest was in swimming lessons, we found that every time we went to his lesson she would fall asleep and nap the entire time. So at home, we downloaded a swimming pool white noise recording and she would fall asleep within a couple of minutes.”

It’s common for mothers to share what they’ve learned with other moms in case anyone else is struggling with the same problems. Alison has gained quite a large following on the social media platform TikTok, surpassing 58.4 thousand followers. Sharing videos of her adorable kid and their days together, Alison has received more than 1.7 million likes across her videos.

Could it really be that easy?
