Baby dozes off while standing upright
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a TikTok user has posted a video of a baby who slept off in a rather awkward position. The video was posted by Lanivaka, who appears to be one of the girl's parents, and she says the baby sleeps anywhere.
In the TikTok video, which lasted only 7 seconds, the girl stood upright and went off into a very deep sleep. From the video, it looked like the girl was in a car as she was standing close to a couch.
When the video was posted on TikTok, it surprised everyone who wondered why the baby slept that way. Some TikTokers were amazed that even when the girl was touched, she did not wake up but continued to sleep.
