AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, babies start smiling between 6 and 12 weeks, but you may notice a smile or smirk soon after baby’s born.

Detailed explanation-2: -As with all things in child development, there’s a range of normal when it comes to when babies smile. But if your baby doesn’t show a social smile by around 2 months old, talk to your child’s doctor. This could be an early sign of a developmental delay that may need attention.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. A baby’s first social smile usually appears by the end of their second month. That’s one reason why, as a pediatrician, seeing babies and their parents at the 2-month-old checkup is always a great pleasure. The exhausting days when they were newly home from the hospital are behind them.

Detailed explanation-4: -At two months, babies can see objects–and people–from up to 18 inches away. That means you still need to get pretty close, but your baby will be able to see your face pretty well while feeding. She should also be able to follow movements when you walk close by. Baby’s hearing is improving, too.

Detailed explanation-5: -“Your baby will likely be smiling at 3 months. But if baby doesn’t smile often, that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with him. Just like adults, babies have different temperaments.”
