When do babies smile at you?

[SurferRosa]

I can't remember with DS1, but DS2 has just giggled in his sleep (Awww!!!!) and is 3 weeks old.

Just want to know when I can expect a conscious smile at mummy!!!

at about 6 weeks

I think it can be anytime from 6 weeks ish. Although I have heard other people swear their baby has smiled earlier.

My dd wasn't a very smiley baby but my ds is and I remember him doing it earlier than her.

5 weeks

4 weeks here

3 weeks for both my dds, but I think it's usually later. SO sweet when it first happens. Don't think it's a reliable indicator of how many A-levels they're going to get though

DS was 3 weeks, and they were definite smiles. He is still a very smiley boy. He was 2 weeks overdue though so I don't know if that makes any difference, adjusted age etc...

All mine smiled at around three weeks. Dd2 scarily used to laugh in her sleep, from about 10 days old. It was most un-nerving to hear chortles coming from her moses basket at 2 in the morning.

this is like a competition..

5 weeks
4 weeks
3 weeks
10 days

my baby smiled as i was giving birth to her, and handed me a pint for all my hard work.
do i win?

ds2 about 4 months

If you work really hard you can get them to smile earlier than standard 6 weeks

mine "smiled" at 6 weeks, but it wasn't till he was about 10 wks that i got a real joyful looking smile wher it seemed to me it meant something.

5 weeks for DD. They say you can tell a real smile from a wind one by how it spreads to their eyes and whole face not just the mouth and I found that to be true.

DS smiled at 5.5 weeks, and it was a real corker.

DD is 4 weeks old and has had an amused look on her face when DS talks to her for about a week now. This afternoon we got a first proper smile...it was lovely!

Mine seemed to take forever! I would say about 7 weeks.. he´s now almost 10 weeks and they are frequent and beautiful and well worth waiting for! (awwww)
