5 weeks, tongue thrusting?

My 5 week old just started tongue thrusting and it seems like she does it constantly... I've read this is normal but it didnt say when it starts? When did your baby start this? Also shes def had increased saliva and spit bubbles, anyone else? She started taking the paci more the past 2 days, not sure if its related or not

This is for all the caterpillars that never became butterflies. And for all the butterflies that never felt the wind in their wings. And for all the hearts that had hopes and dreams of a wondrous flight together.

    My son started doing this at 4 weeks old and my mom (who's also a nurse) said it's his way of getting ready to try and make noises. They practicing moving their tongues around and then will start trying to make sounds with them. It's a good thing! :)

    DS has done this since birth, stopped for a week, and then started "talking" and laughing a whole lot.

    My DD just started doing this a few days ago.  She also has increased saliva and she will occassionally smack her lips together and make noises.
