What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary to include anger, fear, disgust, surprise, or happiness. In the first weeks after birth, babies show pleasure by smiling after feeding or being stroked. By two or three months, they show a social smile, a smile in response to social interaction; before this it could be "just gas." They show more intense emotions of happiness over the first year and their smiles change in response to different stimuli.
