Alyssa wasn't much of a smiler early on.. and when we did try and get smiles it seemed like a lot of hard work!! I guess some kids don't see the point in following the crowd haha

Btw, she's a "normal" smiley 3+ year old now :) Her sister is the total opposite. All smiles, all the time :)]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:19:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=788072&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#788072 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787955&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787955 Author: wellygirl

MrsH: Why the long face?

Muz: Yep, she watches us a lot and stares at toys. I even caught her watching the rugby today, so I think her vision is fine.

C was practically born smiling, thought she was high most the time , Ty on the other hand is a lot more serious, he smiles occasionally , but nowhere near as much as sister , its just different personalities ]]> Sun, 27 Sep 2009 16:04:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787895&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787895 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787334&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787334 Author: Muz

Dani was the same, had to work really really hard for a tiny smile, i think she just used to give us a smile to get us out of her face!! She is very smiley now.
Does she watch you move around a room or follow a slow moving toy? You did say she smiles at her doll so I think she must actually see, so just a matter of time until she smiles more often ]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:16:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787334&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787334 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787237&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787237 Author: MrsH

They are sooooo fussy - Although he smiles plenty, Leonard wont laugh much for anyone - even when I tell him the one about the horse walking into a bar......]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 15:18:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787237&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787237 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787158&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787158 Author: wellygirl

Thanks guys, that's a relief.

My DD was also quite stingy with the smiles until about 4 - 5 months old. Now at aged 1 she smiles and grins at everyone.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - she will get there!]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:48:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787113&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787113 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787070&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787070 Author: lilfatty

Maybe she is just not easy to please

Elias smiles alot .. but then again, he is a pretty happy baby. Isabelle was more stingy with her smiles and basically the only way she would is if we tickled her (so not a "real" smile).

She outgrew it .. although can still put on a huge pout if the world isnt exactly as she deems fit ]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:41:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787070&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787070 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787019&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787019 Author: wellygirl

My 3 month old DD barely smiles - occasionally she does at her doll, but only faintly. I keep seeing other 3-4 month old babies who grin away and wonder if I should be concerned. She's tracking along in every other way, though. I would just love some smiles! ]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:39:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28991&PID=787019&title=not-smiling-should-i-be-worried#787019
