I don't remember exactly when but I think it was around 6 or 7 weeks and usually only during diaper changes. Now (10 weeks) he'll react more to us in other situations/places but still sometimes looks away or ignore me when I try to engage him, probably bc I'm annoying him haha.

I would talk to your pediatrician ... Either way, it would be nice to have a range of "ideal" milestones for baby to be meeting. At this point, I am nearly certain that no doctor would be concerned, but it's worth noting for later, to follow-up, and have it noted.

Our daughter did eye contact early, even would smile a lot around 6 weeks, BUT she still very rarely laughs. Like, maybe once a week (at 9 months old). It totally freaked me out, because all of the baby books said she should laugh around 3 months), but our doctor explained that babies are so SO different, and that since she was meeting her other milestones, we're good.

And, looking back through my blog posts from that time, I am seeing photos that are reminding me that while she did make eye contact, she was VERY interested in her surroundings. She loved looking at the ceiling vents, and places in the house with a lot of contrast. She liked looking at my husband way more than looking at me, and I just figured I was boring!

So so normal! At our 4 week appt our pediatrician told us not to be alarmed when she didn't seem to see us for a few more weeks. It wasn't until 8ish weeks when she started to look at us. She is 5 months old now and has just discovered our faces with her hands!
