Our drooler. I do not think that my children swallow saliva. All of the wet spots around him, including on his onesie came from his mouth. The poor boy is 24/7 soaked, and I am constantly asked if he is teething. Maybe. Sarah did not get her teeth until she was close to one year, and she stopped swallowing her own saliva shortly after birth.
He was weighed and measured today. Because he was only in the 5th percentile in weight, I was given multiple suggestions on how to help my skinny boy gain. Everything from dressing him in warmer clothes, because it takes calories to keep warm, to pumping the foremilk before he eats, so that he can get more of the creamy calorie dense desert at the end.
I was told that his lankiness was probably hereditary. "His father is lanky, right?" the nurse asked.

I will dress him in warmer clothes.
