Most parents think their baby is dreaming when they smile in their sleep… but that’s not the whole story.
Newborn smiles during sleep are usually reflex smiles, not emotional ones. Their brain is still developing, and these little grins happen during active (REM) sleep when their nervous system is firing and wiring.
It’s actually a good sign — it means their brain is growing and making connections.
Real, social smiles? Those start showing up around 6–8 weeks when your baby locks eyes with you and smiles on purpose. That’s when it gets really fun.
So yes… it’s adorable. But it’s also biology doing its job.

You can’t spoil your baby your child. You can make them get used to a certain activity and then if you withdraw it then throw a fit. So if you don’t want them expecting certain things then don’t ever start the behavior.

We’ve already seen how this plays out.
Walmart came into towns all over the country. Faster. Cheaper. Easier.
And slowly the local businesses disappeared. Then your choices disappeared. And the quality wasn’t the same.
By the time people realized it… it was too late.
Urgent care is doing the same thing to medicine.
They’re convenient. They’re quick. They’re everywhere.
But they don’t know your child. They don’t know their history. And they’re not the ones following them.
We are.
There are very few reasons you should ever need to go to urgent care.
We’re open 8 to 8 during the week. 8 to 10 Saturday morning. And we have someone on call 24 hours a day.
If your child is sick, you can reach us.
If it’s an emergency, go to the ER. If you truly can’t reach us, urgent care is there. But that should be rare.
Next time your child is sick… call us first.
