Like any mother with an eight-month-old baby , Today show host Savannah Guthrie is ready and willing to try any top parenting tricks which will help her precious baby girl Vale drift off . When the 43-year-old mother-of-one discussed an Australian father 's tip for getting his baby to sleep less than a minute with her co-hosts on yesterday 's show , she vowed to try the method , which involves gently gliding a piece of tissue papers over a baby 's face until the tot nods off . But Savannah soon learned learned that the trick did n't have a calming effect on her energetic infant . 'Not only did it not make her quiet , ' she revealed on the show this morning , 'It got her so excited she started screaming and squealing with joy . ' All smiles : Savannah Guthrie 's eight-month-old daughter Vale giggled with glee when her mom tried to get her to sleep using tissue paper . Savannah , who had the experiment filmed by the Today show cameras , showed a clip of baby Vale ready for bed in a light blue onesie printed with pink birds – but as soon as she started caressing her daughter 's face with the tissue , the infant broke out into a wide smile . Vale was soon cooing and laughing with delight - but she was n't any closer to going to sleep . Last month , Nathan Dailo , a father from Sydney , posted a video to his YouTube channel demonstrating how he gets his three-month-old son Seth to fall asleep in just 42 seconds with a single piece of white tissue paper .

'Could we cancel the rest of the show and watch this ? Today show co-host Willie Geist asked of the precious video . Savannah also revealed that the trick was n't a total failure in her home .
