Ah, the sound of a baby's laughter! It's pure joy, a melody that melts hearts. So, when do babies typically start laughing? While every baby develops at their own pace, most babies will giggle and laugh between 3 and 6 months of age.
Before that, you might notice little smiles and coos, paving the way for the big event. Around 3-4 months, babies start to recognize familiar faces and voices, and this familiarity can spark some genuine chuckles. By 6 months, they're often laughing readily at funny faces, gentle tickles, and peek-a-boo games.
Don't worry if your little one isn't laughing yet. Keep engaging with them through play, talk, and lots of smiles. Remember, building a strong bond is key! And, of course, if you have any concerns, always consult your pediatrician.
