Does smiling relate to easiness of your baby?

[boiler717]

My baby is very easy going and didn't smile until 7-8 weeks

[carfar]

Baby very easy going, smiled at around 7 weeks I think.

[nessness]

DD smiled at 6 weeks and was not easygoing.

[madringal]

My baby is super easy and smiled around 8 weeks.

[Susie]

Hobbes moved her mouth in a way that approximated a smile around 6 weeks, but didn't ACTUALLY SMILE until like 8. Those things are not the same.

[ryry]

Nope. DS started smiling right at 6 weeks and he was a colicky mess for months after.

[bananapancakes]

L was smiling at 3 weeks and while he's always been a pretty happy kid, I certainly wouldn't call him easy.

[mpc]

I don't think my kid smiled until 11 weeks. He was pretty easy going.

[booboo173]

They both smiled early and often. Ds1 was high maintenance, so far ds2 is normal (not easy or high maintenance)

[starburst]

DS was not easy going and smiled late. I don't really remember when. Maybe not until 12 weeks or so? He was also born a month early.

[scribellesam]

DS1 was basically born smiling and he is one of the most challenging kids I've ever met. Laughs a lot, though!

[vtdiamond]

DD smiled pretty early on where as DS took a while. DD is the easier of the two so it's accurate in my case!

[mekia]

I have 2 polar opposite kids.

DS was practically born smiling and he loves to laugh, even now at 2.

DD is only 6 months and she would only give us smirks/tiny smiles for the longest time. She finally laughed a couple months ago, but it's still rare compared to DS.

DD is just so dang serious (her name sign is even related to her seriousness while DS' name sign is related to how much he laughs!). She's very observant though.

Both haven't been difficult so far.

Chiming in as parent of a late smile baby with #2. But yeah she has a complicated history. Now she smiles all the time.

I don't think so

Both kids smiled between 4-5 weeks and I don't consider either to be "easy" although I also don't consider them extremely difficult. Horrible sleepers and not "laid back"

[Deleted]

My nephew smiled and laughed really early (he's six days older than DS so comparing was easy) and he still laughs SO MUCH and huge belly laughs over the littlest things and he is an easy kid. Sleeps anywhere, happy all the time, goes to anyone, low maintenance...
So yes I see your theory

[pooh8402]

E smiled at 6 weeks and was a very difficult newborn.

[shelbyann]

Eh, not for me.

DD smiled at 6 weeks and was difficult and a terrible sleeper.
DS just smiled for the first time (7.5 weeks) and is a better sleeper and generally more easygoing.

[thebreakfastclub]

I feel like DS smiled around 8 weeks, and he was an easygoing, happy guy.

[osulori]

I can't remember how old AJ was when he started smiling, but he was an easygoing happy baby. I'm about to go check FB to see if I can figure this out because it'll bug me

ETA: found photographic evidence of the cutest little ovary exploding smile at 5 weeks.

[face]

My baby smiled super early.

She was a bottle refuser, and still doesn't STTN at almost 2.5 years old.

But she is quite sweet and smiley still. Her mother on the other hand is kind of a tired crab.

[hainesherway]

DS smiled at 6 days old, and has been a pretty easygoing baby. He has his moments when he's overtired or hungry.

[undecidedowl]

My harder baby smiled earlier and my easier baby smiled later.

Try not to fall for Facebook pics either.
If you look at my Facebook from birth to week 8, my child was delightful. Everything was peace and sleep and cooing.
But in reality, she cried daily from 5pm-2am.
People didn't believe me when I would tell them how hard she was because when I took her out in the day, she was perfect.

[kylerules]

Ds2 was super easy baby but he never smiled (he did but just not smiley) I remember trying to get him to smile for his 6 month pictures and he would only give me a straight face!

[timorousbeastie]

DD didn't smile until at least 9 weeks. I was terrified that her newborn resting bitch face was a sign of her future personality. Seriously, she always looked grumpy. However, she turned into a really easy baby.

[cactuscookie]

DD is 5 weeks old, super smiley, and very high-maintenance.

[deo]

DS2 rarely smiled as a baby. He was Mr. Serious all the time. He was an easy-going baby, one of those magic ones that *never* cried.

[Deleted]

My DD was easy going and slept well the first year and smiled at 8 weeks and then didn't smile all that much. DS smiled at 5/6 weeks and smiles all the time but sleeps worse and has separation issues.

[Muddled]

This kid smiled all the time. Until the clock struck 3. Then goodbye Bruce, hello Hulk.
