When mom was away, granddad came up with the idea, sucking the bottle on his body

Bringing a tiny human being into the world is no easy feat. Nine months of being a baby’s all-inclusive five-star hotel suite with a private amniotic fluid pool and five meals per day. But once the child is finally done with their stay in the belly, the real fun begins, each day bringing something new.

You get used to one change, and then another happens just as quickly as the last one did. One thing that stays constant is the need to eat. Many mothers choose to breastfeed their babies, building a nice bond between them that becomes a chore to break once the mom needs to be somewhere else for more than 15 minutes.

This granddad found a loophole to trick his grandson into being bottle-fed without any fuss or yelling or crying, and to be fair, isn’t that always the goal? Let’s get into the story!

Baby not liking milk from a bottle? Well, this granddad has a trick for you!

He carefully positioned it on his chest so that it wouldn’t move or drop, tapping around it to make sure it stuck.

He then bent down to see whether the milk would come through, Wendy laughing at the scene in the background, all the while the caption read: “My godson won’t take the bottle, so my dad tried something.”One ingenious man in a now-viral TikTok video is seen positioning a baby bottle inside his shirt to mimic a mother’s breast.People Are Loving This Grandad’s Idea of Faking Breastfeeding When The Baby Refuses To Drink Out Of The Bottle

Then it was time for the real test – would the baby drink from it? The man holds the child in his arms, trying to carefully position him to drink the milk, whilst also doing his best not to spill everything on the floor.The boy seems quite confused at first, as if to say ‘the heck is happening’, but then the baby boy spots the nipple and latches on instinctively, regardless of whether it belongs to his mom or granddad.

The scene leaves Wendy in stitches, her laughter booming throughout the room, whilst her proud dad rocks up and down with the baby happily chugging away at the milk.

As you can tell, he’s very proud of his invention. But the real test is – will the baby fall for it?People Are Loving This Grandad’s Idea of Faking Breastfeeding When The Baby Refuses To Drink Out Of The Bottle

The video ends with a close-up of the hole with the man’s nipple sticking out, a wet patch on the T-shirt showing what was left of the milk. He then rubs around it, sighing as if to say he’s sore from all the hard work he’d just put in.

First posted at the end of 2020, the video has since amassed an impressive 8.8M views and almost 2M likes. It was dedicated “to all the dads out there who struggle with their little ones not taking the bottle.”

Oh boy, did I go down a rabbit hole to find out all the reasons for them doing so. You bet I’m gonna share the findings! This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, so feel free to skip right ahead to the full video below, but to those that are as curious as I was – continue.
