Hey everyone

When did you all get your baby’s first proper smile? My DD is only 4 weeks old which I know is very early but I just feel like she’s not going to ever smile :( being silly, I know lol!

6 weeks and 12 weeks for a giggle

Social smiles start from 6 weeks.

5 weeks for a beautiful gummy smile that was definitely a social smile. It lit up her eyes and made me weep.

She then didn’t smile for 3 weeks, but once she was 8/8.5 weeks, they started appearing a lot more frequently!

2 weeks from ours. But I read it's due to wind. 😂

I have no idea. I can't remember. He can be quite a serious chap now as a toddler and doesn't smile a lot. When he does it's gorgeous. Making him laugh is the most fun. But I haven't a clue when he first smiled.

I was so worried about my baby smiling as he didn't until around 10 weeks I think , which is slightly late. I even mentioned it to the health visitor as I was so concerned !! But he is the most smily baby now all I have to do is look at him and his face lights up 🥺 your baby will get there x
