A video on Facebook has gone viral which shows a dad getting his daughter to sleep.

For all the parents who struggle to get their little ones off to sleep, now one dad has revealed his trick which works every time.

Austin Miles Geter, from Dallas, shared a clip on Facebook which shows how he manages to help newborn daughter Charlie to drop off.

In the adorable clip, Austin can be seen rocking his little girl with his hand resting under her chin while she cries.

Little Charlie is dressed in a sweet pink babygrow, with her eyes wide open looking towards the camera.

But as soon as he begins rubbing her eyebrow, she seemingly nods off within seconds.

"So here we are, she keeps crying because I keep having to change positions but I know she’s sleepy," he explains.

"But I heard if you gently rub their eyebrows they go to sleep.

"So I’m going to try it."

As his little one nods off, Austin silently punches the air in success.

While a fourth agreed: “Used to do that to my granddaughter, 30 seconds and she was asleep!”
