Dad 'breastfeeds' his daughter to help her settle after Mum goes back to work

This is pretty genius, in fairness. 

When Chris Allan's fiancée had to return to work, the father-of-one had to take on all the parenting duties, including feeding. 

But mum Jennifer had been exclusively breastfeeding Destiny from birth, so it was going to be a big change when Mama wasn't around all the time anymore. 

However, rather than simply get on with things, Chris found a pretty genius trick to ensure Destiny didn't miss out on the comfort she got from nursing. 

So he cut a hole in his T-shirt and popped the nipple of the bottle through to imitate breastfeeding. 

And it's very, very clever. 

The father-of-one posted a video of him 'breastfeeding' on YouTube and it is brilliant. 

"So Mommy had to go back to work so Daddy is helping out," he explained in the 15 second clip. 

"I guess it's like breastfeeding, right?!"

Brilliant, fair play to him!
