Neil Patrick Harris On Calming Crying Babies: “Shot Of Whiskey”

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris is living the double-shot experience of raising six week old twins, and on The Talk yesterday, he admitted a lot of his great intentions have given way to the urgent desire to quiet two crying babies:

“At this point, we are like whatever it takes–a shot of whiskey, whatever–just stop fussing.”

He kids! He kids! Right? Doesn’t he?

Harris says “vegan granola advice” on raising kids from friends and fellow actors like Sara Gilbert was rejected quickly, and he and partner David Burtka have even reconsidered their position on swaddling. (Take it from me, NPH, swaddling is a gift from Heaven)

Harris and Burtka announced their babies on Twitter earlier this year, asking for privacy, and had the twins with the help of a surrogate. Both men were in the delivery room for the twins’ birth.
