Title: Why do babies smile when they have wind?
Post by: thedoc on 03/12/2016 23:23:01

Nic  asked the Naked Scientists:
   I absolutely love your show (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/). I listen to the podcasts on my ipod during the night when I'm up feeding my 14 week old baby - the information is fascinating so thanks.
 
I wonder if you could explain why babies smile when they have wind, before they can even smile themselves ?
 
Many thanks
