In the clip, Danielle explains: "After birth, babies often have a little bit of extra tension, the guppy hold is a wonderful way to release some extra tension, specifically after a tongue tie release."
And after seeing how relaxed the baby looks in the clip, other TikTokers have been commenting on the video, claiming they need a guppy hold, too.
One joked: "The baby just got here and it’s already got tension?? What about my tension that’s been going on for 22 years??"
While another said: "I wish someone would do this to me honestly."
And a third added: "I need this."
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Man, I need someone to do this to me!!"
Another tagged their partner and wrote: "Guppy hold me right now!!!!"
It does look so relaxing.
