It is a question in my mind ... I recently met my girlfriend who delivered a baby boy. The boy after 5 days from his birthday simply laughed looking at something .. Sometimes he laughs when his eyes are closed .. Who taught laughing for the born child? How come it is possible? Pl share your knowledge in this..!

I don't think it's a true laugh . . . it's a reflex kind of thing. It's when they get a bit older that the laugh is an intentional laugh to show pleasure in something. Until then, a baby will do all sorts of funny things with their muscles, especially with their faces as they are not yet able to control them. When my daughter was born, they cleaned her up and bundled her up - and gave her to me. Our eyes locked and it was instant love. But then she made a big grin and laughed at me - hee hee. Come on, I couldn't have been that funny looking - ha ha!

i THINK THAT HE SMILES IN HIS SLEEPS AS HE DREAMS SOMETHING NICE..HE CERTAINLY DOESNT HAVE ANY WORRIES YET SO ITS OBVIOUS HE SHOULD BE HAPPY SINCE HE HAS HIS MOTHER(PARENTS) BESIDES HIM.I THINK THAT THESE THINGS ARE ENOUGH FOR A BABY TO BE SMILING... THE BIBLE SAY WE SHOULD BE LIKE BABIES AND ITS TRUE..WE SHOULD LEARN FROM THEM TO ENJOY AND SMILE EVERYDAY OF OURLIVES AND STOP WORRYING

hi kguru, Little babies often keep laughing.They cry when they are hungry or any kind of discomfort they feel in the crib. Laugh or smile is boon given to human by god,hence we are lucky enough to laugh,which an animal cannot do. Coming to little babies they come to this world like a clean slate,so they often keep laughing.As the time passes and they start growing up they will be used to all kinds of emotions like anger,jealous,greed,tense etc.Those qualities are indirectly proportional to laugh. The more those qualities the less we laugh,I saw many highly designated people laugh very less,they always look tensed. Finally a grown up cannot laugh like a kid or baby,kids and babies enjoy every moment of life like we adults can't.We are always tensed and tension,pressure,inhibitions will suppress our smiles and laughs. Happy laughing
