Not smiling at 6 weeks
My lo is turning 7 weeks today, and is rather stingy with the smiles. I only ever see him smile when I burp him, so assume it's gas. He is usually on his side so never smiles while looking at me no matter how animated I get. 2/3 times he has smiled at DH and DS1, but never at me. Heard him chuckle in his sleep a few times too as well as smile in sleep. DS1 gave me big grins at 3 weeks. Anyone have this?

Do us mums really need the added stress of this nonsense!? NO, your baby will smile when they are ready and its no reflection on their mental state or wellbeing if they choose to wait longer than other babies!! nor does it mean you are doing anything wrong.
I will never track my daughters progress against some book or that of familiies/health visitors/midwives advice, that is based on averages taken years ago! Nobody knows your baby better than you.
I bet your baby is perfect! and the smile that comes will light up your life so dont worry about what other people say! It will happen! xx
