Detailed explanation-1: -Around 4 months is when babies typically start laughing, but do keep in mind that children develop at their own unique rate. If your little one is at the four-month mark and hasn’t let out a laugh, that’s OK!
Detailed explanation-2: -Babies usually let out their first laugh around 3 or 4 months of age. But since kids this young don’t understand humor, they giggle because of physical arousal (such as bouncing on your knee) or textural experiences. They may also laugh as a form of imitation.
Detailed explanation-3: -That said, the CDC cautions that if your baby hasn’t laughed or doesn’t laugh regularly by age six months old, you should talk to your baby’s doctor or nurse to ensure that this isn’t a sign of a possible developmental delay or hearing impairment.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Do Babies Start Laughing? Every child reaches milestones at a different time, but you can expect your baby’s first laugh around 3 or 4 months. Full-out belly laughs might appear around 5 months of age.
