I know there are many babies who aren't developmentally there yet, but for those who are (6ish weeks +), when did LO treat you to his first social smile? LO will be 7 weeks tomorrow (Tuesday) and we are anxiously waiting for him to smile back at us! He's been showing his dimples more, but usually just for a yawn. He's faked me out several times already lol. I know it could be a while based on his personality, but I just want to see that beautiful face smile for Mama!
I'd say DS was around the 6-7 week as well. Now at almost 10 weeks, we are starting to see that he is holding his smile for longer periods of time and he will smile more intentionally when we do things like tickle his stomach or blow raspberries on his belly.
My LO started around 5 or 6 weeks ... Usually on the changing table and mainly in the morning. She loves when we make faces and stuck out our tongues loll. I'm sure you will be seeing that smile soon!!
4 weeks she even smiled at the doctor at her one month check up. The doctor was very surprised. The doctor told me it was a social smile. I was thinking it must be fake outs. She's doing even it more at 5 weeks. Today I was animately reading a book to her and she kept looking at me an smiling.

Brynlee has been smiling for about 2 weeks now. She's 6 weeks today With get awful colic, I seriously try to catch every smile I can, just so o can remember that the screaming doesn't last forever.
Our little one is 4 weeks and started smiling two days ago. Little smiles though and very sporadic. Not consistent but not gas smiles either. It melts my heart
My little one has been smiling at us since 4-5 weeks. Now at 6 weeks we get daily smiles. They are heart melting!!! This picture is from tonight when she was smiling at her big brother.
I *think* we've had a few social smiles (6.5 weeks) but honestly I'm not 100% sure. My son smiles when he's comfy in addition to gas and pooping so even if no sounds come from the other end I can't tell if he's just happily content vs smiling at me. I'm hoping we will be sure soon!
We got our first at 5.5 weeks, but they've been few and far between. She is ultra sensitive to stimuli, so I have to talk softly and consistently for about 10 mins straight to get her relaxed enough to Crack one. They are becoming more common every day! And a few smiles when daddy does funny things like hiccups.
I honestly can't tell, every time he smiles I assume it's gas and I for some reason thought they didn't smile until several months old. I'm going to start paying attention to what's going on when he smiles!
It varies quite a bit. He was an early smiling baby, but my nieces smiled around 8-10 weeks. I thought they were gas-related until he started making eye contact and smiled when I said his name.
I saw his first social smile around 3 weeks, but at 4 weeks, he started smiling much more often and responding to talking, laughing, etc. I get most of them on the changing table! They are beautiful and definitely help when I'm frustrated due to lack of sleep!
My baby always smiles when I give her a big smile of my own with teeth (I read somewhere they like to see teeth). She also smiles a lot when I say poo-poo in a high voice. It's becoming very consistent at 7+ weeks.
@MissMheMhe my baby girl does the same thing! When the pictures start happening she stops the smiles, and as soon as I quit, smiles again. It's hard to capture right now!
Lol @hannahduff3 this happened to my hubby yesterday. He picked her up and was like "look babe she's smiling at me!" Then her face got all red and we hear this explosive noise in her pants... I'm just like "riiiight.." Hahaha!
Jamie gave me his first the day before he turned a month, I managed to grab a picture a couple days after, not half as gorgeous as his big beaming smile but it'll be nice to look back on! He smiled at a perfect time, at the end of a rough day, totally made my week.
LO has been smiling for a few weeks, but the last week they have become daily and he will smile when DH and I talk to him. He will be 6 weeks tomorrow.
Finally getting pictures!!! The other day day I leaned over the bassinet when we woke up and said good morning and she flashed the biggest smile ever and my heart completely melted!
