DS3 is 10.5 wks old, but was born 4 weeks early so 6.5 weeks corrected age. He is still not smiling. He has given us (we think) a few half smiles but no proper ones yet. He smiles in his sleep so we know he can.

DTS1 has ASD so I'm getting a bit paranoid about DS3's lack of smiles and what it might mean (although DTS1 is actually one of the smiliest children around). Not helped by having a stinking cold today so I'm feeling miserable.

I have been smiling at DS3 at every opportunity (poor child is probably a bit bewildered by having me gurning at him all the time Hmm)

Will someone please tell me that their DC smiled late and had no long term developmental problems. Pretty please?
