Maybe its just my baby, but the only proof I need to know that constant contact is good is to look at how calm and sunny and relaxed my Lila is. We don't co-sleep much, but during the day she is always touching one of us. Seems like a lot of women my mother's age and older think that handling a baby that way is right next door to obscene or something. Today we were at the grocery and several older women had something to say to me about my calm, sleeping cherub. Everything from I'm spoiling her (A NEWBORN?) to she's going to fall out (as if). I just nod and smile.

that said, maybe Lila is just a temperamentally calm baby. She's draining both boobies now at feeds, doesn't need ebm top up anymore. We're almost all on the breast.

Ack my back is killing me. How soon is too soon to teethe? Lila's drooling profusely and sticking her fists in her mouth every time there isn't a boobie or a bottle there. She's not hungry or upset but jams her fists in her mouth. Also I think there's a little bump on one side of her gums? Not sure, but I think so. Ridiculous.
