No more burping  abuse- what else ?
I just realized from my other post and your replies that I don’t need to be burping my baby anymore but it got me thinking what else I was still doing on newborn days and now that I don’t need to ??? 
Let’s mKe a list together 🤩
1. No more burps 
2. solids 1x a day 
3. 3 naps

Answer

For us we still need to help him burp about half the time 
Sleeping in his own room🙌
Sleeping through the night (7-7) with no feedings as of last night 🙌
Able to entertain himself for longer periods🙌
No more bouncer, mommaroo, boppy lounger 😔 
Tempted to switch to a convertible carset because holy crap it is hard to lug him around and get him in and out of the car (especially the truck) 🥵

Answer

Check weight limits on all the contraptions that worked great in the early days. Some babies may be approaching weight limits on some toys/bath seats/bassinets/swings/bouncers/car seats /etc. so double check all those! Some weight limits are as low as 15-20 lbs. 
Most babies can start to work on night-weaning at this age with okay from pediatrician. 
If they haven’t already, many can move to their own room/crib now. 
I think 6 months is the minimum age recommendation for sunscreen, so babies can have that now! 
Babies with any teeth poking through should start to get used to having their teeth brushed. Double check with pediatrician/dentist but I don’t think any toothpaste is allowed yet, just brush with a little water. 
For some babies, they can start BLW now if they also meet other criteria like sitting independently and lost tongue trust reflex.
