Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Alert baby comments?

Everywhere I go people comment that my baby is so alert and paying attention to things.  I'm not sure if this is just because he is very social so smiles a lot when people look at him or talk to him.  Just wondering if anyone else gets these comments.  I think he's probably just normal :)

  • Yea we've been hearing it too...I think maybe cuz they look so small still at this age yet they're so alert makes ppl say that...at the same time, who can resist those adorable baby smiles??! :)

  • We've gotten these "alert" comments since day one!  I don't get it.  Aren't babies supposed be looking around, exploring and studying their environment and the people around them?

  • We get it too... I think anytime someone hasn't been around a "little" baby in a while they forget things and think all they do is sleep, so when they have their eyes open, looking around, suddenly they are so alert.

  • Same here!  We were told by all the nurses and drs at the hospital after he was born and till this day, we get that comment. At first, I thought the same as pp, aren't all babies like this?  Isn't this normal?  Well, since then, I've been around other babies around my LO's age and I now understand. They looked drowsey and sleepy. Even now, they are not as alert as my LO. There were days in the beginning where I wished for less alert baby so I could get some sleep but now, he is so much fun.

  • Yep, I've gotten it since day 1! I definitely thought that I would eventually stop hearing it, but then I see babies that are around his age - and even older - and they aren't as alert or social as DS.

  • We've been getting these comments since she was like 2mos old.  It baffled me initially because I thought babies were supposed to be alert after the initial first few weeks.  DD looks at everything, she's always looking around and making eye contact.  Guess it's a good thing huh?Big Smile
