My farmer mate discovered his newborn sleeps better with a cardboard cow is this normal?
Went round to my friend’s house and nearly lost it because he’s got a full‑size cow cutout standing behind the baby gate.
He just goes, “Don’t ask how I found this out — the baby will only sleep if the cow’s there.”
At first I was like, “Mate… why have you got a cow in the house?”
But honestly, it’s udderly amazing.
The second that star cutouts cow’s in position, the baby stops crying!
He reckons it’s because he’s a farmer and the little one’s already used to seeing cows.
So now I’m wondering — is this normal UK parenting behaviour, or has he invented something the rest of us haven’t caught onto yet?
