A Father Gets Into His Fussy Baby’s Crib To Calm Her Down

In this new video, Nunzio Raso, a father from Canada, gets into his fussy, baby girl’s crib to help calm her down. Michela, like many children, would wake up every two hours, prompting her father to get up, as well. Here, the two both get a little rest together.
“This is a video of my daughter Michela who for several months just can’t get to sleep without waking up every 2 hours,” he says.


History of Father's Day

History of Father's Day Festival as seen today is not even a hundred years old. Thanks to the hard work and struggle of Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Washington that just as we have set aside Mother's Day to honor mothers we have a day to acknowledge the important role played by the father. However, some scholars opine that Father's Day history is much older than we actually believe it to be. They say that the custom of honoring dad's on a special day is over 4,000 years old. There are a few more claims about the Father's Day origin about which we will learn in this page.
