As a new parent, it's natural to wonder when your baby will start to smile. This milestone is an important indicator of your little one's development and provides a source of joy for parents. Typically, newborns will display reflexive smiles shortly after birth, but genuine social smiles usually occur between six to eight weeks of age. However, every baby is different, and some may start smiling earlier or later. It's important to remember that all babies develop at their own pace, so don't worry if your little one isn't smiling yet. As long as they're meeting other developmental milestones, they're on track. Keep engaging with your baby, and soon enough, you'll be rewarded with those heart-melting smiles.
