Real smiles vs. gas smiles

[mum22ttc#3]

I think that for at least mine, all 'gassy' smiles tended to occur as they was either dropping off or asleep

I never actually thought they were real gas pain / gassy smilies iykwim, more of a nickname kind of thing but I don't actually think that all smiles are real either.
I think that I would class 'real' smiles as a 'social' smile like with their eyes and all, either that or all mine were smiling by at least a week lol

I think you can just tell in their faces.

I have to agree! I didn't actually mean that I thought the smiles were from gas. It's more of a nickname for a reflex smile. I did some research though and found some interesting information about baby smiles - https://www.justthefactsbaby.com/baby/article/why-babies-smile-92
