Baby's smile while sleeping

Question

What does that mean, when a newborn baby smiles during his or her sleep?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

No reason is given in Shariah about the smile of a newborn baby. May be he smiles when he is in good health, satisfied with his suckling, feels comfortable in his bed and good clothes, etc. However, pediatrists and other children specialist may give more comprehensive answers to this question in this regard.

Allah knows best.
