The connection between them is Vitamin D.

Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.

The uterus is the main site for the implantation of the embryo. It is the place where the embryo spends 9 months in the mother.

MrRissso [65]
Babies typically do not show social smiles until four to six weeks of age.
Any smiling before that time, it may not be deliberate. It's usually only a sign that the baby is comfortable, either they just urinated or they just ate.

At first, the baby  smiles at every one but after several months, most babies save their smiles for people they know.
