I can't be sure of the age as every chin develops differently but i agree that it looks older than a newborn.Lokks like it's at least a week old to me...But i could be wrong...Very cute baby though!!

The baby looks very active so that's a good sign.I would be really worried if it was lethargic. Is the weight still increasing? That's the most important thing....

Oh ya..this isn't very major but i'd also be concerned if your baby is warm enough. Usually they cuddle together with their mum for warmth, so maybe a heat pack or a hot bottle bottle may help?

Tanya, it look like it is in his 1st week or perhaps 10-12days to me.
