My baby was just making some noise. After holding him for awhile, I put him back to the cot. While I was patting him, he was smiling and sleeping well now.
He has started to smile when he was a few days old. I am not sure if he is really smiling or it's just the muscles on his face that make him look like smiling, but I am happy to see him smiling. At least I know when he is smiling, he is sleeping well.
Isn't it nice to see the baby smiling?

Awwww - your little one is sooooo cute!! Don't they look so cute when they are sleeping? And oh yes, seeing a smile is just the best. True smile or not, it's makes you melt when you see that - and we just hope that is a sign that they are happy at that moment .

They look cute when they sleep for sure. Because they don't cry.

Yes, you are right. I really love seeing the baby especially when he is smiling. I just imagine that he is happy in his dream. Though they also look cute when they cry, it's sad to see them crying actually.
Someone told me, maybe the baby is playing with the dream fairies or angels.

A true smile or not, I think when he does so it means he's relaxed.
Like... look at him! He's definitely enjoying his nap. So sweet!

@marguicha Thanks. I just took the picture. He was sleeping sweetly, though not really smiling at the time I was taking the picture.

Thanks. Yes, he just had a scratch near his eye two days ago as he "took off" the mitten by himself, though I already cut his finger nails. Also, he scratches me when I nurse him. It's quite painful.
Why did you ask so? Is it not common to put on mittens for the babies in your country?
Actually this is the first time I put the mittens on for my baby, my elder two just took off the mittens easily when they were still newborn, so I didn't bother to put them on too.

Your baby's smile and his so sweet, particularly the first, is one of the most rewarding moments of parenthood. Enjoy him :)

You reminded me my child when he was a baby. At that time he often smiled when he was sleeping. At that time he was just a little baby, so we wondered why he felt so happy. Perhaps he had a nice dream Now I realized that many babies are the same. They like to smile when they are sleeping

Yes, it is. I hope you also had a rest while your baby was sleeping peacefully.

We always enjoy seeing baby's smile with no particular reason at all. But my sister told me it's not a real smile at all. Just muscle twitching.
