A child expert has revealed a simple mistake parents make while calming their baby which actually makes them cry MORE - and what you should do instead.

Former nanny Laura Amies, 39, say's never give them the toy they're screaming for - such as an iPad - because this makes things worse in the long run.

The consultant from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, said the best thing to do is soothe the child by supporting them emotionally, such as hugging and sitting with them.

A video shared on TikTok went viral, amassing nearly two million views, of Laura sharing the harsh truth - and the reactions were mixed.
