Smiles

BC&LM · July 2013

How many of you have little ones that are smiling already--truly smiling, not just smiling while passing gas or sleeping? If so, when did they start? If not, how old are they now, and were they premature?

To answer my own question, our eight week old is not really smiling socially yet. He was four weeks premature.

Started truly socially smiling at probably 7-8 weeks and was 5 weeks premature.

My LO was 2 days overdue, and started socially smiling at 5 1/2 weeks. My DD started at 4 weeks and was 3 weeks early... so really, I think it just all depends on the kid. But when it does happen, OH! It's marvelous.

Mine started to smile at six weeks. She has days where she smiles more and others where it seems she doesn't want to be social, just sleep lol. She's seven weeks now so hoping she will keep it up!

DD was born at 37 weeks and started smiling at 6 weeks on the dot.

kelseypie · July 2013

About 5.5 weeks. He was born a day after his due date.

We were getting true social smiles between 4 and 5 weeks. When she's fed and happy, I put her in the couch next to me and talk to her and she smiles up a storm. She was overdue by 2 days.

At exactly 7 weeks and she was born at 36 weeks.

Owen was 3 or 4 weeks old. He smiles allot when he is being walked around. He loves to be held and walked around to see different things. He also smiles allot first thing in the morning when we are getting up. I got some good video of it yesterday!! He melts my heart every single time!

He was born at 39w 4d.

He's started giving me real smiles at about 8 weeks adjusted. He was 14 weeks early.

Lily has been smiling for the last few weeks. She wakes up smiling at us now!

Camden started smiling around 5 weeks. Born 3days before his due date. Lots of cooing/talking to us on his changing table as well.

Oh I can't wait to see E start smiling at us! Sometimes I think she is social smiling but then it's so brief that I'm not sure if it happened. Just hit 4 weeks today so hoping we get smiles soon like the rest of your luck ladies!

Grant started at 5 weeks. He was born 38w4d. I love the smiles!!

Brianna started smiling at 4 weeks. They aren't super regular, but she's smiling more and more everyday. (at 5 weeks today) She was born 40wks2days.

Iris was born at 38 weeks and started smiling at 7 weeks. She's 8 weeks now, and the smiles are still few and far between. I can only assume that she spends the rest of her time thinking deep and serious baby thoughts. My husband often asks her if she is concerned about Syria or global warming.

rzurbr · July 2013

Ok scratch my earlier response...was just doing tummy and playmat time with Little Miss E and she let out several gummy smiles for me. Can't wait for more and more to come. She was born 40W4D and is 4 weeks exactly today.

PurpleCobra1 · July 2013

5 or 6 wks and he was born @ 39 wks

My LO is 5 weeks and she just started to smile. I love it. every morning I get to wake up to a huge grin that is nothing but pure happiness from my baby when I go to get her up in the morning.

costa2011 · July 2013

DD started to truly smile at 1 month, 1 week. If your LO is premature though, you may have to go by his adjusted age as to when he will start smiling. I wouldn't worry about it, it will happen!

Achae · July 2013

Smiles!

B has been smiling since around 6 weeks. He is 8 weeks now and is laughing and smiling (which is about the cutest thing ever). He was born a day late.

aajoxx · July 2013

I was 38 weeks when our LO was born. She started to smile between 4-5 weeks. The frequency increases each week.

CindyRelluh · July 2013

DS will be 8 weeks this Thursday, and he started genuinely smiling almost two weeks ago. He now has started gurgling, cooing, and slightly laughing. I love getting him to smile! He wants to chat with me so badly!

CindyRelluh · July 2013

And because I feel like AWing my son...

LiLi23 · July 2013

Riley is giving me half smiles for the past few days. He just turned one month on Saturday and was born at 40w 2d. He also started giving me little coos here and there. I can't wait until I get the full smiles though!

Yakut · July 2013

LO started smiling at 3 weeks and change. He was born at 41+1. Our pediatrician said it was too early when we mentioned it at the time, but he only did it if DH and I were smiling at him. Now (one week later), he grins when he sees my boob, which is hilarious.

Mommy2CB · July 2013

First real smiles were around 6-7wks. He was born at 37w1d.

homebird · July 2013

Baby girl started smiling at like 5 weeks and change but they were few n far between... and usually at her daddy! Yesterday she smiled at her playmates toys for the first time and this morning I got a huge good morning grin for the first time. I love it.
