Mommies I need your help with a debate between my SO and I. Can our baby have real smiles now or are…

I think baby's can smile! although I have read that usually in the newborn age it's probably just gas,or they are peeing. lol I refuse to believe that a 100% bc my baby smiled as a newborn all the time! it was the cutest thing!

I always liked to think the smiles from my babies were real. My mom would beg to differ and tell me that the baby "just had gas". I agree that it could be reflexive, but then again, 3 smiles in a row seems pretty indicative of a sweet, happy baby to me. ☺

@rosalinasmami, @sarahemccormick Exactly! Sometimes it's probably just gas or whatever. But that situation had to be real. What are the chances of her doing it 3 times in a row and it not being real?

@embersandash she's smiling cuz she loves her mommy's kisses! 😄

bs my baby smiled as soon as he came out! and everyday since! she knows who u are and like she said she loves mom's touch and kiss lol baby's are like dogs ..they're instincts are so strong and they know feel and think things we couldn't even begin to imagine

to me she could be smiling back and some times it could be reflex. I know at that age my son smiled all the time and I thought the same thing she probably is really happy but I'm not sure I'm a first time mom. you should look on Google and see if its reflex or her just being happy.

@proudmom0730 We have Googled it before. Some say it's from gas or other things and some say real smiles. So who knows
