Newborn not smiling

My baby is 2.5 months old and smiles very rarely in response but smiles looking at random objects. He makes eye contact and respond to sound. Should I be worried?

Too early to worry, If he recognises you (mother) by 3 months, that is sufficient Smile is supposed to be social, as in random smiles here n there. Keep monitoring and frequently keep consulting with Pediatrician for progress in milestones
