Little ones who always smile doesn’t mean they are always cheerful, you know, Mother. Contrary to what experts once believed, it turns out that your little one doesn’t always smile just because they’re in a good mood.
Quoted from RomperKathryn Smerling, a family psychologist, says that it is important to remember, Mother, if emotions are not related to your little one’s constant smile.
“Before this new study, we always assumed that babies smiled in response to the genuine emotions they were feeling. But around 6 to 8 weeks, when baby usually starts to ‘social smile’ rather than smiling as a reflex, he responds to things he can hear or faces he can see. He will usually smile at people, and less when he is alone.”
