My one month old daughter makes a face where her lips are in a complete circle...as if to say "Ooooo" but no sound...and she looks like she's concentraiting on something...but usually nothing is in her view that I would think would make her think that hard. Has this happened to your baby? Why does she do this all the time?
P.S. She's been doing this since birth!
My son did that, too. That's the face he made in the hospital photo. It's super cute!
She's just playing with her mouth. Keep watching, because she'll start making more faces. Have fun, and congrats!
In tiny babies that's typically related to wanting to nurse. Does she do it all the time, or do you notice that it's a half hour or so before she cries to eat? When she does it, will she nurse? Responding to those sweet little cues can avoid having a overly hungry crying baby some time later.

If you make that face the baby will copy you and it's very cute. Most babies do the 'O' thing. They love to be talked to and they listen and do that '0' thing a lot when listening.
Cingrats on your new baby girl! :)
All 4 of my babies did that and it's s-O cute! I was never able to connect it to a need or want though so I made a game of it and enjoyed it while it lasted. :) Best wishes.
my now 5 yr old did that when she was tiny - it was her earliest warning of getting hungry...took it as my cue to whip out the boobie....if i waited too long, the crying would start! We thought it was cute too, and called it the oooooo face, too!
Take photos of it!
Yes babies make all kinds of faces. Verbal or not.
Its cute.
As an infant, my son, furrowed his brows whenever he was thinking. He came out of the womb that way. He did that for about his first 6 months after being born. It was cute. I took lots of photos of him then as well.
with my first son we came to call this his "poopy face" when ever we saw it we knew to get a fresh diaper ready. Our second son just did it when he was happy.
My son did the same thing!! Since birth as well!! It was so adorable. He was really in full concentration mode. I don't know why he did it, but I made sure to take lots of pictures because he was so cute. Who knows -- maybe babies can see something we can't??? ;o)
Your question brought a smile to my face as I can remember my oldest daughter now 5 doing this all the time. I don't know that it means anything except they are taking everything in and learning about movement. I have so many pictures of her doing this, I thought it was such a cute expression.
I used to call that the "pee pee face" because my kids always had a wet diaper right after they made that face. They look so cute, concentrating, don't they?
I called it the monkey face, and I haven't thought about it for a while. It was my favorite!
Our son would always be wet, poopy, or both not long after making the face. That was the cutest "get ready for an unpleasant surprise" look I'd ever seen, though!

Sometimes babies smile because they are making gas.
My kids all did that, usually when I was holding them talking with them and I believed they were trying to mimick my mouth as I was talking.
