Teething is usually a pretty uncomfortable experience, both for a baby and their parents! However, one clever dad seems to have figured out just how to put a smile back on his daughter’s face. In a hilarious video, this man tried to distract the little girl by singing and dancing for her. It worked ridiculously well!
In the viral clip, the teething baby still had tears in her eyes from crying a moment ago. Now, though, her attention was totally fixed on Dad and his epic dance moves! With a stack of diapers in one hand, the sweet father did everything he could to keep the little girl focused on him instead of her discomfort. He made tons of silly faces and sounds to go with his dance. At one point, he even started rapping! Please be aware that there is some NSFW language near the end of the video when the man started getting exhausted from moving around.
Although this dad seems to have tired himself out while dancing for the teething baby, it was definitely worth the effort. Not only did his daughter stop crying, but she even started to smile!
“When Dad tries to stop the baby from crying because she is teething and we are waiting for the Panadol to kick in,” the family wrote on their social media post. “Well it worked.”
Everyone loves how this dad was able to calm down his teething baby girl.
