My lo is only 5 weeks corrected was born at 30 weeks and he definately smiles, I thought it had to be wind at first but now its when u talk to him especially when he first sees and hears u in the morning when i peer in his moses basket.Getting more and more each day,it's lovely!

Ok, I'm not stupid, and know that prem babies don't really start the normal development process until they reach their due date... but I swear one of my twins, Amelia, is trying to smile. My dh was playing with her this morning, pulling funny faces etc, and she did crack a small smile... and he swears it was not wind as he didn't feel any (he was holding her!) I thought she tried to smile yesterday as well... I know I am just hoping too much, but I can't wait to see them smile!!

If my dates were wrong, which I think they were, and they were born at 33 weeks, not the 30 weeks I officially had them at (33 weeks is what the nurses at both SCBU's put them at given their size and what they achieved so quickly - like breast feeding at 2 weeks old) they would have been term on Wednesday (40 weeks)

What do you girls think? Could it be possible for Amelia to smile already? They are 7+4 weeks uncorrected, and I think 4 days old corrected!!

My lo smiled for the first time at 9 weeks corrected  ( 19 weeks uncorrected) and he always a smile on his face now.

ds was 10weeks correct, it was bloody wonderful!!

Theo smiled at 9 weeks corrected, so you've got a little while to go yet i'm afraid. Makes it all the more special when they finally do smile at you though x

My lo started smiling at 11 weeks uncorrected / 4 weeks corrected. We had lots of windy smiles before that and dp tried his best to convince me they were real smiles!!

my ds is 2months corrected and has just started smiling recently

I am asking so many questions!! Forgive me

When did your premmie baby first smile? My girls are 6 weeks today, which if they were term would mean they could smile... gestationally they are 36 weeks. I want to see them smile!!
