One clever dad is going viral [1] thanks to his genius baby hack [2]: stopping his son's crying using one of Mom's dirty shirts. Eli Spector posted the magical footage of his son to YouTube [3] to spread the wealth to other sleep-deprived parents [4] with inconsolable babies. In it, you can see the baby boy fuss and cry, that is, until he gets a whiff of his mommy from one of her shirts. He calms down almost immediately and begins to snuggle with the shirt — it's freakin' adorable.

"Dad Pro* Tip #1: When baby gets really fussy and mom is not around — try giving giving them some of mom's dirty laundry. They love the smell," he wrote in the video's caption. Eli added: "*I am a dad. I'm not a pro."

We beg to differ!
