When will my baby look at me, recognize and smile?

At about 2 months: A baby should recognize parents and smile usually between 1 month and 2 months old. Baby will turn toward a sound or mother's voice before then. If a baby does not do that, even after 2 months, he or she should be checked particularly for vision and hearing.

Birth: Babies can see clearly about a foot at birth and can look directly at you and will learn to recognize your face. The are often overwhelmed by direct gaze and will look away for a while before looking back.They can also smile in response to your smile, but it may be brief.
