Both my kids were about 5-6 weeks old when they started smiling properly. Before this they smiled with their eyes. You can tell the difference because if its wind it tends to be just one side of their mouth that curls up, whereas when its a proper smile its both sides. Its so rewarding to see them smile in the beginning and we took loads of photos! I remember saying to my health visitor when my little girl was about 2 weks old that she smiled at me and she said matter of factly that it was just wind. It felt sooo cruel!!

Alex was about 3 weeks old - you can tell the difference between wind and a proper smile by whether they draw their knees up - normally if it is wind they will draw them up but if they are looking at you and are relaxed then it is a smile - and how wonderful they are!

Both of my children were about 2 months old when they started smiling. A little tickle on the cheek (by the ear) usually gets them going. They don't actually start laughing until they're about 3 or 4 months though. Hearing that first laugh just makes you melt. :)

I don't remember the exact time the smiles were real, but I do remember the first time that my son really laughed out loud. It was Mother's Day and he was 2 1/2 months old. It was the best sound that I have ever heard!

Her eyes started to smile at about 3 weeks, and her mouth followed suit at about 4 weeks.

It really made me laugh at the same time scared me because my baby was just a few days old. and he looked and just gave this big ol smile.. I didnt think it was normal and i thought it was just his reflexes but from that day on he has been smiling.

My daughter was exactly six weeks old. I was singing a silly song to her and kind of "popped" my face down at her and made a funny sound. She smiled!!!!!! I then did it again to see if the smile was real, and she smiled again!!!!! I then knew exactly how to make her smile.
