”And anyone that knows me knows that I’ve had the absolute worst sleeper since the day she was born,” the mum claimed, whilst her daughter was playing in the background.
Desperate for a change, the mum was willing to try anything and decided to give the banana trick a go – it worked like a charm and she hasn’t looked back since.
