I’m a mum and my easy rice hack gets the kids to fall asleep quickly when I’m not there
MANY parents struggle to get their kids to sleep, particularly when they can’t be by their side 24/7.
A mum has revealed her very savvy trick which gets her baby to fall asleep in minutes – and all you need is some rice.
TikTok user @liangyue3 showed how she filled a plastic glove up with rice so it would seem like her hand.
She then gently placed it next to her baby, so they would think she was right next to them.
Her video has racked up 30,000 likes, and many parents praised the idea.
One said: “I’ve had 4 children….if I had have seen this before the first, game changer.”

The NHS website provides some help for parents trying to get their baby to sleep.
It says: “At night, you might find it helpful to keep the lights down low, not talk much and keep your voice quiet, put your baby down as soon as they’ve been fed and changed, not change your baby unless they need it and not play with your baby.”
