I was really worried cuz doc said he should be smiling. Now at almost four months, he smiles so much and laughs so cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-late-smiling-babies#post-1995251 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 03:54:14 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1995251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a preemie and has always been very serious! We didn't get frequent smiles until over 5m actually! It'll come eventually and it will be awesome :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-late-smiling-babies#post-1995245 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 02:55:48 +0000 nana87 1995245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo didn't start smiling until around then either, and it was still rare for awhile after. She was more observant and serious! Now at 8.5 months she smiles alllll the time though laughs more rarely still </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-late-smiling-babies#post-1995155 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 22:47:45 +0000 Meridian 1995155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 weeks (4.5 weeks adjusted) and hasn't given any social smiles yet. I know so many 6 - 8 week babies who have already started smiling and I can't wait for this to happen! But since he was a preemie, I know I have to give him some extra time... did you have a late-smiler, and when did they first start? </p>
