| I swear my baby is laughing. I’ve seen her do this at least twice this week. Anyone experienced that this early? Is it normal/good? |

| Sounds adorable. Why would this be a problem? |

| I remember the first smile--not the drunken rapidly changing expressions of a newborn (which were fascinating). Baby was asleep, I went to wake him up, his eyes opened, and he smiled ear to ear. I don't remember when laughing started but I love the belly laugh of an infant. Enjoy! |

| DD had a tinkling laugh and DS chuckled at that age. Just out of the blue. |

| My third child let out his first little laugh at 5 weeks and was regularly laughing by 7-8 weeks. He was social smiling at 1 week (confirmed by pediatrician). Pretty crazy! My other two kids didn't social smile until 4-6 months and laugh a couple of months after that. Every kid is different |

My bad, I'm typing too fast. He was social smiling 1 week BEFORE laughing, which was 4 weeks old, NOT 1 week old. |

| Enjoy, OP! When my baby started laughing it was pure joy in the midst of postpartum misery. Timing is perfectly fine. Just enjoy it. |

OP, ignore this. Laughing at 12 weeks is early but perfectly normal. |

| I think we could coax a chortle out of both of our's at this age with tickles |

| My oldest laughed for the first time around 14 or 15 weeks and still (at age 9) thinks life is just amazingly hilarious. Enjoy it! |
