Have a 6 week old, he's definitely a lot more irritable, but on the flip side, he's smiling, looking at things and paying far more attention to me and his mum. He just doesn't want to be put down sadly.

My baby girl started smiling late in the fourth week💜 now the smiles are getting bigger and she’s starting to coo❤️❤️❤️

At 1:45 ! Can I just warn moms not to hold their babies without head support (like the woman in the video) I only did it once on the couch with my sleeping baby and she did a dive down backwards, in her sleep! Thank god we were on the couch so she didn't hit her head but if I sat with her (or stood) anywhere else she'd been crashing straight onto the floor. I see people carrying their children like this and it makes me so anxious, it's an accident waiting to happen.

My baby smiled from 5 days old ...I was always told 6 weeks will be the starting point for this..he is 6 weeks today and already giggling ...copying sounds I make and mirroring them back etc so glad I captured it all on video 😊

We have a 6 week old baby! He is smiling a lot. He is formula and breastfeeding. He sleeps a lot better on his tummy. We are not sleep deprived because we take turns rotating who gets up with him each night

my baby started showing her smile around 4to 5 weeks

[heatherwanjuguna]

Night is day and day is night. She sleeps most of the day after a bath only taking breaks to change and feed. She then wakes up at 10 p.m. and can go up to 6 a.m. mostly feeding during that time. She doesn't like to be put down. She wants to be held upright over the shoulder and taken for walks all through!

My 6 weeks old, smiles only in his sleep, though he has given couple of smiles when awake... But still waiting for the proper smile....

[audreytaruwinga]

I can't wait for the first proper smile ☺️

[jonjames]

They have a growth spurt at week two as well 😊

This video was terrific and “the good bad and ugly” sums up week six well. Not complaining tho, my beautiful girl has been sleeping through the night for the last 8-9 days. It’s been glorious! Breastfeeding is finally getting easier too. Mum and baby are very happy!

[sierraschiffer]

my baby has been doing real smiles since before she was a week old. Even her doctor saw it and confirmed at her 1 week appointment

[janetrojas]

My baby is such a good sleeper I hope he doesn’t have sleep recession he takes a bath around 7 pm then he fall asleep around 10 pm then wake up every 3 hours to eat and wake up around 9:30am takes 3 2-hrs nap

My little boy is 7 weeks now, and at week 6 he did show off his smile! He was 7 weeks premature so we didn't expect to see it at 6 week!

[kabitadhungana]

My baby turning 6 weeks he start smiling when he was 4 weeks.

[miikab]

My baby is 10 weeks old (6 adjusted)hes only smiled really like 3 times :( and hes still so wobbly even with tummy time/neck. He makes a couple grunts and coos but not when he spots us. Doesnt look excited to see us. Hes more alert though watching everything.

[julimonanipah]

[gmafwolo]

Thank you for all the support. Since. Pregnancy to parenting

The smiles are so amazing and adorable!
Problem is 6 week old grandson only sleeps about 6 hours total in a 24 hour period.
Naps are only 45 minutes to 2 hours.
Is this normal?
He looks exhausted and wants to sleep but he only will fall asleep with nursing.
