I know it's probably just gas or whatever but my 6 week old looked right at me and smiled. Biggest smile of my life right there. After weeks of feeding, changing, not sleeping, feeling like I don't know what I'm doing, that one smile made it all worth it. First real moment where it felt like he recognized me. Anyone else get emotional over stuff like this or is it just me being soft?
Those early smiles are everything, dude. Congrats on making it through the first stretch. It gets easier from here.
That's awesome! Those first smiles are what it's all about. Hang onto that feeling because you're gonna need it at 3am next week.
Whether it's gas or real, that's a moment you never forget. I remember the exact spot I was standing when my daughter first really smiled at me. Doesn't matter if it was coincidence - you SAW it and that's what counts.
It's gas. Definitely gas. But also who cares because that moment is YOURS and it was perfect. Enjoy it. These early smiles are magic even if the science says otherwise.
Nah, six weeks and you get a real smile. It's happening. The gas thing is mostly a myth to manage expectations but at this point he's definitely engaging with you. Congratulations on the moment!

Man, that's the real deal right there. I'm only a few weeks in myself and those moments hit different. Doesn't matter if it's gas, that's YOUR moment and you earned it after all those sleepless nights.
