She captioned the image she uploaded on Tuesday: 'Loving on my little niece!'
Meredith is the first of the Josh's four children not to have her birth documented by camera crews. Josh announced her birth on Instagram on July 19 and she is his fourth child with wife Anne. Their other children are Mackynzie, five, Michael, four, and two-year-old Marcus.
TLC officially announced that it was canceling the reality series 19 Kids And Counting following the revelations about Josh fondling underage girls including sisters Jill and Jessa when he was a teen.
Filming on the show has been suspended since TLC pulled reruns from its network in May.
Jessa defended her brother and her parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar during an interview with Fox News's Megyn Kelly.
She said: 'My parents ... I can see looking back [that] my parents handled this very well.

'They sent Josh away, they had him get help. When he came back he was a totally different person.
'He was repentant whenever he left. When he came back, I could see he had made life changes.'
Jessa, who is due to have her first child with husband Ben Seewald in November, also said she has come to terms with what happened and forgiven her brother.
She said: 'I was angry at first, I was like "How could this happen?" And then you know my parents explained to us what happened and then Josh came and asked each of us, individually, I know he asked me to forgive him.
'And I had to make that choice to forgive him, you know? It wasn't something that somebody forced, like, "Oh, you need to do this." You have to make that decision for yourself.'
