That first baby laugh is pure magic, isn't it? You're probably wondering, "When do babies start laughing?" While every baby is different, most babies start giggling and laughing around 3 to 4 months old.
Before genuine laughter emerges, you'll likely see social smiles. These early smiles are reflexive responses, often appearing within the first few weeks. Around 2 months, these smiles become more intentional and responsive to your voice and face.
So, what makes them laugh? Initially, simple things like silly faces, gentle tickles, or peek-a-boo can trigger those adorable giggles. As they grow, they'll find humor in more complex interactions and develop their own unique sense of funny.
Don't worry if your little one isn't a comedy superstar right at 3 months. Continue engaging with them, making silly noises, and showering them with love. That precious laughter will come, and it will be worth the wait!
