However, then how would one explain the Rumples/Mal's 'viewing' of baby Lilith being adopted in the LWM 30 years ago? Why does that need explaination? Just-born Lily(=Lilith) was send right after the ritual through a portal to LWM where she was found and adopted as being showed. Because Mal wanted to know the fate of >>>her<<< child. For the "switch at (pre)birth" scenario to work, the spell Gold cast would show baby Emma just before or soon after the dark curse 1 was cast.

Also in the viewing, baby Lily clearly has the star birthmark on her wrist (where Emma has none). Plus when Charming, and Snow touch the unicorn's horn they had a vision of Emma, and Snow's vision shows young Emma insteado young Lily so the pre-birth switching theory is debunked.
