TikTok is the number one home for viral content. Why, just a few days ago, a fan at a Harry Styles concert took over the app after recording the musician performing her baby\u2019s gender reveal on stage. The latest clip taking over TikTok is also baby-themed \u2014 although things definitely could have turned out badly, if not for one kiddo\u2019s quick thinking. On March 5, single mom Grace Watkins posted a video of herself hanging out with her two sons, three-year-old Silas and 13-year-old Wilder. Toddler takes over TikTok after saving baby brother from choking In the clip, Silas and his mom can be seen playing around with some hula hoops while baby Wilder toddles onto the scene \u2014 but Silas notices something in his little brother\u2019s mouth and instantly springs into action. Silas puts down the hoop and grabs his bro\u2019s head, quickly retrieving the object in his mouth before turning and showing it to his mom. The clip has garnered over 19 million views in just three days, leaving commenters both shocked and impressed by little Silas\u2019s maternal instincts. \u201cHe was definitely a mother of seven in his previous life,\u201d one user joked. \u201cAbsolutely extraordinary,\u201d another said. \u201cHis attention, maturity, understanding of dangers and responsibility. That is an incredibly emotionally advanced little boy.\u201d \u201cWow he had that mom grip, his whole demeanor changed. Good job buddy!\u201d yet another commented. However, not everyone was amused by the clip, with one commenter accusing Watkins of being a negligent parent. She hit back at the critic in a follow-up video explaining the situation. \u201cIf I brought to attention every single time my baby put something in his mouth \u2014 which happens all the time \u2014 and I made it such a moment, it would induce and instill fear that we don\u2019t need,\u201d she said. \u201cMy oldest, clearly, is very, very bright,\u201d she continued. \u201cYes, I\u2019m going to utilize him if I can. Why not have two conscious minds protecting this beautiful baby?\u201d Luckily, Watkins\u2019 situation turned out positively \u2014 unlike another parent, who had the police called on them after recording themselves bundling their bundle of joy in saran wrap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toddler goes viral for saving baby brother from choking TikTok: gracewatkins5448A toddler is taking over TikTok thanks to his quick thinking after saving his baby brother from potentially choking on a small object he had in his mouth.
