Your baby might be smiling less at you for several reasons, and it could simply be due to their individual personality.
Understanding Why Your Baby Might Smile Less
It's natural to worry if your baby's smiling habits change. Here's a breakdown of potential reasons:
-
Temperament: According to research, some babies are naturally shyer, less interactive, or smile less readily than others. If your baby is capable of smiling but does so less frequently than other infants, it might just be their inherent personality. This is a normal variation in baby behavior.
- Example: Some babies are content to observe their surroundings quietly, while others are more actively engaging.
What You Can Do
While a change in smiling can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, often it's just a part of your baby's developing personality. If you're concerned, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician.
