[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Sorry I was MIA the last couple of days.

We started solids just shy of 6 months and my daughter LOVES food.  This morning my husband looked at the bowl I made for her (BM, peaches, oatmeal) and said, "Is she going to eat all of that?!?!?" Yep.  She's on the small side, so I have no idea where she puts it.

We definitely have to employ the toy distraction trick during diaper changes or it's nearly impossible to get her changed.  I second PP who said she keeps her baby lying down for as short a time as possible.  My daughter seems to have tons of clothes that button up the back these days.  She loves being put on her tummy to get buttoned up, so I try to flip her immediately after the diaper change.

As far as sleeping, it's not where I expected to be at this point... My daughter is still waking up at least once a night, but usually twice.  I know she *can* sleep all the way through, but it's never happened.  I am actually okay with the 3:00/4:00 am feed because she seems really hungry and I like the snuggles, but we seem to have hit a regression.  We Ferberized to get rid of the 11:00/midnight wake up a few weeks ago, but she is back at it.  I saw my ped yesterday, and she said it's really normal for babies to regress - and that she really supports sleep training again and again if necessary.  She also said most babies will flip themselves and actually sleep better on their sides or tummies at this age - and that's totally okay.  Sleep training for that midnight feed starts again tonight.  Wish me luck![/quote]
