The truth is that it is not really a smile. It is what is known as angelic smile, which responds to a reflection of the newborn. It seems that babies pose for the photo, but it is a spontaneous lip movement and reflex that the baby makes when he feels happy and relaxed.
The social smile, his first "real" smile appears from the first month of life, between the fourth and sixth week, in response to a stimulus from the father or mother.
