Answer

did your baby started to smile?

Answer

started smiling at random objects at 2 months.. but she wint look at us. watever we do she wnt look. i was so worried. she has passed ear testing at hsptl, so we had plans to check eye aftr 4 months. but thankfully she started showing improvement by that time

Answer

@DD Thanks for the response, when did the smiling at random objects or smile when tickling started? Is it also after 105 days? My baby is not smiling my any means till now. Simply to put we  haven't seen his smile when he is awake.

Answer

she was born on 39 weeks 4 days. she started smiling looking at some randum objects or if we tickle her by kissing. but never onto our face.. her eye contact was very poor till 105 days. also visual tracking started by 100 days only.. we noticed a good change aftr 105 days and within a week all become absolutely normal.. i had sleepless nights till then.. but i hv consulted a pediatrician and therapist at 2.5 months to evaluate. even they cant do anythin at this age, juz wait for few more months, do plenty of interactions and conversations with the baby, play with more colorful and noisy toys,thats wat i hv been instructed to do. If you are tensed juz consult a dr. early intervention is always best

Answer

@DD Can you let me know under which week of gestation ur baby was born? We haven't seen any sort of smile either seeing objects or people in my son, simply to put - we haven't seen a smile when he is awake, reflex smiles are seen while sleeping. We are bit scared.

Answer

Thanks DD and Sai

Hello dear parent! Social smile can happen anytime between 3 to 4 months. Consult your doctor for further advice. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug cold pressed coconut oil
