How do babies react when they look at you?

- More symmetrical
- More prototypical
- Easier for a baby’s brain to process

So “attractive” = visually simple and familiar to their developing brain, aka socially “good-looking.”

But then again, of course they can still stare at your face, it is just More Likely that they are staring at your due to looks.

Preference for attractive faces in human infants extends beyond conspecifics - PMC

Human infants, just a few days of age, are known to prefer attractive human faces. We examined whether this preference is human-specific. Three- to 4-month-olds preferred attractive over unattractive domestic and wild cat (tiger) faces (Experiments ...

If You Often Catch Kids Staring At You, Science Says This Is Probably What They’re Thinking

A psychological study may have the answer as to why kids like and trust some people, and despise others. Depending on how kids react to you, this may either be good news or bad news.

they smile because im an inherently good person and because i look funny, in a bad way, i look like a very ugly baby with long hair so they're probably mocking me without even realizing it
