Mom Calms Her Baby Boy By Placing Life-Size Cutouts Of Herself Around Him In Her Absence

You might have observed that when a toddler cries, it is only his mother who can comfort him. He immediately becomes calm and playful when he sees his mother. But separation anxiety is as real in babies as it is when we leave our whining doggo behind to head to work. New mothers often find that babies tend to bawl the moment they slip out of their sight. This Japanese mother was also going through all this until she came up with a smart hack to convince her toddler she was around when in fact, she wasn’t. Want to know about that brilliant hack? Here’s what she did.

To prevent her one-year-old boy from crying in her absence, this mommy came up with her life-sized cutouts to trick her son, reported TIE. A Twitter user @sato_nezi shared her smart hack for all the mothers going through the same thing. She shared how she experimented with setting up a “life-sized panel mother” to stop her son from crying every time she disappeared from his sight.

She captioned the Tweet:

“It ’s hard because my 1-year-old cries as soon as I disappear from sight. As a countermeasure, I experimented with what would happen if I set up a life-sized panel mother.”

She also shared a video where she was seen replacing herself with her cutout before leaving the house.

She mentioned that her absence remained unnoticed for a while. She added that the ‘panel may be useful occasionally.’

To make the plan work out smoothly, there are two cutouts of the woman. The first one where she is standing and the other in which she is seen kneeling down, both were placed out of the kid’s reach.

According to her tweet, the cutouts were reportedly made by a service that makes big dummies for display boards for supermarkets and shops.

They say necessity is the mother of invention and this mother’s foolproof plan to get work done while reassuring her child she was around definitely proves testimony to that. What do you think of this idea? Tell us.
