Just found these notes on baby Mer
I was going through old emails, deleting what I could. I found these notes that I sent to Grandma Marcy when Meredith was just about 6 months old. We went with Pete and Eryn to Arizona for a long weekend. Thought I would capture a little bit of Meredith at 6 months old...because I've certainly forgotten what she was like and what she was doing at that age (as she approaches 3 years old!). I love how I noted "Don't waste any breast milk." That definitely was always a concern of mine!
Sleeps on tummy at night if she can't fall asleep on back.
Wear long sleeve onsie and socks under Jammie. Try snowsuit if she seems cold.
Don't waste any breast milk.
Likes puffs. Need to feed them to her. She can't pick them up and get in mouth quite yet.
Eats baby food one to two times a day. She will let you know when she's done bc she will not be interested anymore.
Baby food should be room temp.
Bottle should be room temp or a little warm.
Bottle nipples - #1 might be too slow. #3 seems to fast according to Paul. I just bought #2 flow nipples but haven't tried them w her yet. They should be perfect flow though.
After she goes down at night she often wakes up within the hour and needs to be held or cuddled to stop crying. Sometimes shes still sleeping as she cries. Use nuk.
She could be teething. Use 0.8ml of Tylenol if you want. It's in the side pocket of the green diaper bag.
Naps - she takes about 3 a day. 10-11ish, 2-3ish, and 5-7ish. Put her in car seat if you can't get her to sleep in pack n play. Walk around. Or go for drive.
She loves to hug you by burying her head in your shoulder. :). She likes to feel your face w her hands.
She may be a little out of sorts bc she's used to getting only 2-3 bottles per week. :(
