What to do if your 2-month-old baby doesn't like to laugh

Everyone knows that children are the most innocent, especially newborn babies. Even if your baby does some small actions nearby, he will be very amused. However, some parents may find that their babies particularly don’t like to laugh and will cry at any time. At this time, many parents are worried and concerned about whether their children have any physical problems. So they want to ask what to do if their 2-month-old baby doesn't like to laugh?

A new study conducted by scientists shows that even babies who are only a few months old actually tend to have varying degrees of wanting to be happy. In fact, sometimes babies cry for a long time not because they are hungry or have wet diapers, but because they want to play, have fun, or change their environment, or at least want someone to get close to them. If you keep ignoring him, he will definitely cry even harder, and his parents may even think that he doesn't like to laugh.

It is important for new parents to learn to be happy with their newborn baby. The main ways to change a baby’s unwillingness to laugh include:

1. The baby doesn’t like to laugh – let the baby come into contact with water as early as possible. Healthy babies can take a half-body warm water bath right after birth. After the umbilical cord falls off, switch to a full body warm water bath. When the baby is one month old, bathe him every 2 days. When bathing, the room temperature is required to be controlled at 20-21℃, the water temperature is 35℃, and the bathing time should not exceed 5 minutes. Although it is not possible for babies to "play in the water" at this stage, most babies will feel happy when they come into contact with water, which can effectively alleviate the condition of babies not liking to laugh.

2. The baby doesn’t like to laugh - let the baby lie in the cradle in different postures, such as sometimes lying on his back, sometimes lying on his stomach or on his side. You should know that frequent changes in sleeping positions will satisfy your baby's desire for novelty, and the effect is similar to that of playing games.

3. The baby doesn’t like to laugh - when the baby is one month old, try to make eye contact with him and try to make him meet your gaze. When a mother is feeding her baby, the distance between the baby's eyes and the mother's face should be kept at 30 cm. This distance is the distance that the baby likes best and can see things most clearly. When the mother is feeding the baby, she should smile and look at him attentively, which will make the baby feel very happy.

4. The baby doesn’t like to laugh - hold a toy in front of the baby and move it slowly, letting his eyes follow the object, even though he won’t make “ah ah” sounds to express his curiosity.

5. The baby doesn’t like to laugh – Although two-month-old babies are still far from being able to express their happiness with words, 80% of them already know how to write happiness on their faces with a smile. This expression of happiness usually occurs when he sees his mother, father and his favorite relatives. If you respond positively to his smile and return the same smile, your baby will be happier, and a wonderful parent-child relationship will be gradually established at such moments. In addition, you can take the initiative to smile at your baby more often and encourage him to imitate your smile.

6. The baby doesn’t like to laugh - hold the baby and carefully perform the “falling” action. Most 2-month-old babies can already show a knowing smile on their faces.

7. The baby doesn’t like to laugh - when the baby is lying on his back, carefully hold his feet and do running exercises, or hold his hands and do gentle stretching exercises.

8. Baby doesn’t like to laugh - use a sound-making or light-emitting toy to attract the baby’s attention. But be careful not to choose toys that make scary sounds or glaring lights, so as not to scare your baby.
