    I'm a first time mother and I would try not to listen too much to others advice about when my son should start doing different thing- ex: your baby should be smiling at 2 months old already, he should be turning over when he is six months old etc. Every baby will do things at slighly different ages, so there really is no need to worry a mother about these things (unless the doctor gives you a reason to be concerned.)
