Do premature babies take longer to smile?

Question

My daughter is 5 weeks and 3 days old but her due date was only 4 days ago. She is yet to give me a proper smile. Is this because she was born 5 weeks early?

Answer

My daughter is 12 weeks but her adjusted age is 6 weeks and she is just started with smirks but only a few times a day and her pediatrician said that it is normal

Answer

That's what I've heard. My LO is about to be 9 weeks old but his adjusted age is 6 weeks and he is barely socially smiling. And he's not doing it frequently like other babies I know his age.

Answer

I have a 34weeker who is now 11weeks and he just started socially smiling.... Preemies move at their own pace.
