Could this be the newborn hack of the year? The century? All eternity? Only time will tell, but I for one am a BIG fan of this method for calming a fussy baby: The Floppy Fish.

Yes, you saw that right, parents are using flopping fish cat toys to put their babies to sleep. And if that's not great enough, the fish comes in two different colors.

One mom posted a video of her baby being soothed by the fish on Facebook, and I'm not sure whether the actual floppy fish spanking the baby's booty is funnier or the fact that commentators appeared to think this was a real fish. Ok, I do know - it's that people think that's a real fish. That's some funny stuff.

We've seen a lot of parenting trends come and go, from advice on diet, discipline, sleep training (or lack thereof), so we can't expect to avoid these fads in the current generation. And this is what you get when the TikTok generation starts to reproduce.
