baby's first smile

[Sarah10]

Is it possible for a 'real' smile at 3 and a half weeks, Jaydens been smiling a couple of times today, with his eyes wide open, like he doesn't have wind, normally when he smiles his eyes roll lol.. can babies smile at just over 3 weeks?

Babies can actually smile from just a few days old if you engage with them. They will copy our expressions if we smile at them and practice using those muscles so yes I am sure your LOs smiled at you. It makes it all worthwhile doesn't it!

I thought Max smiled at me when he was 3 1/2 weeks, but convinced myself it was wind. When he was 4 weeks i decided he was smiling and does it kind of on demand and when you pick him up

 

[Sarah10]

aww, maybe its because im always pulling daft faces at him lol! x

it's definitely possible because they say the first smile (on average) occurs within 4-6 weeks and its only 4 days off so he probably did smile hun x

Absolutely, Aaron didn't smile until over a month but Tabitha was smiling at 2 weeks. Real smiles are so different to windy smiles. Definitely sounds like Jayden is smiling at you!

Yayy! i told my mum, she didn't seem convinced, oh well im convinced it was a real smile

Like you say, you can tell the difference...whole face lights up and you know they havent got wind!

My HV and MW both said it happens.
