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.
Steph, you have described Baxter to a tee with the drooling. If his dummy falls out, the fist is in! But he's not upset or distressed. Maybe they have just found their hands? Baxter loves to wave a rattle around.

Could you please tell me more about why you were giving Lila EBM top ups? Baxter is becoming very short at feeds, like about 5 minutes at each breast if I'm lucky. He's got a weigh in tomorrow and if it's less than 150gms then I'll be making an appt with my lactation consultant, then his paed.
