Dominic // 6 Months

Age
6 months.
 
 Size/Stats
17 pounds 9 ounces. 27 inches long. Wearing 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
 
 
Feeding Schedule
Still nursing every 3 hours and throughout the night.
Still sending 3 5oz bottles to daycare.
We started oatmeal around 5.5 months. We use one with probiotics and mix it with breast milk. He actually seems to like it.
We also tried carrots and sweet potatoes, neither of which he cared much for after the first time.
 

 
 Sleep
We switched back to the Swaddle Up just after he turned 5 months old. He was fighting the other swaddle and seemed to want his arms up, so we decided to try it again. He still doesn't sleep that great, but he seems to fight the swaddle a little less.
We borrowed a rock n play from my friend since I leant mine to a different friend. He had a few nights where he slept 2 hour stretches in there, but by half way through the month he refused to sleep at all in it.
Most of the night he sleeps in our bed. He likes to be on his side, right next to me.




 
Milestones
One day after he turned 5 months old he rolled from his belly to his back.
One week after turning 5 months he rolled back to belly.
One week after turning 5 months old he started putting his pacifier back in his mouth.
He has been rolling on to his belly at night and now prefers to sleep that way.
 
Favorite Things
Being held while he sleeps and playing on his play mat.

 
Least Favorite Things
Being set down and sleeping without being held.
 
Favorite Gear/Products
We love the Solly wrap, the boppy lounger, his bouncy seats, the bumbo, and his Graco highchair.


 
 Health
He got a pretty nasty cold this month.
Still treating his reflux.
