Why it worked

The video uses a relatable parenting struggle (pacifier weaning) and offers a simple, somewhat humorous, and unexpected solution. The 'I wish I knew this' hook creates a sense of shared experience and curiosity, while the baby's immediate, clear reaction provides a satisfying and entertaining resolution. The use of a trending audio also boosts discoverability.
