Father Posts A Pic Showing How His Kid Sleeps On Him, 30 Dads Join The Hilarious Thread
26-year-old Trajuan Briggs, academic advisor at the University of New Mexico and father to cute-as-a-button toddler Isiah, recently initiated one of the most wholesome Twitter threads you'll ever see. Uploading an adorable pic of himself with Isiah sprawled over his chest, blissfully snoozing away, he suggested, just for fun, that other dads do the same.
“Fathers, we should start a thread of pics showing how our kids sleep on us,” he wrote, and it clearly resonated with people! Dads from all over the world joined in with their own pics, as well as exchanging opinions and tips on fatherhood in general.

“The thread started because I'm fairly new in fatherhood, I have a year in the game,” Trajuan told Buzzfeed News. “A lot of my friends are fathers so throughout the process no one ever told me about the crazy sleeping positions, it was never discussed.”
“So before bed, me and Isaiah watch Elmo on my phone and he just knocks out on my neck. As I'm laying there it hits me, take a pic because this is hilarious and send it to the bros. Then I thought how cool it would be if just fathers shared the craziness together. Sort of a 'you're not alone, bro' type thing for comedy. It just blew up.”
What a picture of peacefulness, love and deep contentment. It makes my soul smile.
As the pics started pouring in Trajuan realized that he'd done something special, bringing guys together in a positive way and spreading the joys (and hilarious moments) of fatherhood.
“The general online responses are dope!” he said. “Like I said, I didn't think it would be big at all so it's amazing seeing the reactions and positivity. That's what it's all about. The best responses have been all the participating dads.”
“Showing another side of fatherhood and having a community supporting each other. Just refreshing to see with a lot of good vibes. I just hope people take away the cool parts of life and social media. Twitter gives laughs, tears, motivation, arguments. I just want to provide a happy moment.”
What do you think? Did the thread bring the positive vibes for you? Does your child manage to find weird and wonderful ways to fall asleep on you? Let us know what you think in the comments!
She saw this painting by Salvador Dalí and she just hasn't been the same since then.
Older siblings are often like second parents. I call my sister my sister-mother-friend, she’s all of those things.
Beautiful picture. Some photoshopping to erase the person in the background would make it into an even better shot.
I was expecting more starfish kids! My daughter would sleep us off the bed! On top, underneath, arms and legs EVERYWHERE. Would routinely get a kick in the nose or an arm across the face. Wouldn't trade it for the world!
Miss these days! Will get to re-live them in about 5 months! :D 20180301_1...ad23f2.jpg
All very cute, yes, but with babies co-sleeping can be dangerous. Sorry but this just makes me feel concerned that people aren't realising the risks.
True that, but they aren't alone! someone is taking those photos, so hopefully watching carefully.

This is one of many that I've taken of my fellow and our boy. 994859_138...bcc2c8.jpg
I have a pic of My husband holding our newborn son on his chest , both asleep , from our first night in the hospital to give me a chance to get some sleep after my c-section. I fall in love with that man again every time I look at that picture.
These are beautiful! Thanks for starting this thread and keeping it going. It would be great if each of the dads could hold onto those photos and keep them highly visible when the kids get to be teenagers... so kids and dads can be reminded of that thing about the love. <3
A wonderful group of fathers and babies, loved it, thanks Bored Panda !!!
Many incredible photos, with beautiful babies, good dads, great post !!!
I am SO looking forward to take a pic like these with the big man in my life and the little one on his way... It will be awesomely sweet ! Two more months to go !! :-)
Wow, a dad like this would really have come in handy during my childhood. Thumbs up for all of them!
This is an adorable and heartwarming thread, so much better than those "choosing beggars" posts.
The pictures were amazingly beautiful. You fathers keep keep up the good work of being a dad because in the future, when your child is on stage or receiving their diploma, You'll be the first person they see and thank (and moms too. Haven't forgot about their birthgivers)
So so true! My son told me (years after graduation), that he always searched the crowd for me at any event he was a part of and how he smiled inside when he found me. That's the best part of being a parent....being the reason your child smiles....inside or out.
