Sleep

So I have no problem with the cry-it-out method, however the security guards do. So unfortunately that one is not an option. Felicity has slept through the night 4 times, but it’s very sporadic and believe me, each of the next mornings I have racked my brain and recreated the exact scene the night before to produce the same outcomes to no avail. So I decided to use another method.

It’s a bottle feeding method that I found online, but I figured it could work for her as well. So I put a bottle right by the sink and told Dad that when she woke up she would get a bottle of water and nothing else. The idea is 1, I would get sleep because it was now Dad’s job and 2, she would figure the water wasn’t worth waking up for and eventually stop waking up for it.

Well this idea worked even better than I thought because Felicity slept through the night without Dad even getting up for her. I’m not sure what brought more terror into Felicity’s mind: the bottle of plain water or the idea of Dad coming to visit in the middle of the night.
