Limited Eye Contact
Babies often start smiling in response to others' smiles around 6-8 weeks. If a baby isn't showing social smiles or only does so rarely, it might be a sign to discuss with a pediatrician.

Limited Vocalization
If a baby shows little interest in faces or avoids them, it could be a concern.

Babies at 3 months old should be responding to sights, sounds, and other stimuli in their environment. If a baby seems unusually unresponsive or indifferent to stimuli, it's something to take note of.
