Answer 5

My little boy was smiling within his first few weeks and i know it was proper smiles rather than trapped wind, you can always tell a proper smile because their face will light up and you'll see it in their eyes. My son will always smile for me first thing in the morning when i get him out of bed, it's so lovely, he's now 6 weeks and is always smiling and cooing, it's like he's trying to talk to me. He's shown signs of being ticklish from 5 weeks, in his hips and under his chin but he hasn't quite managed to laugh properly, he just does a strange chuckle.

My daughter was 4 weeks old when she first smiled.
