Why can't my three-month-old baby smile?

Although it is not a big problem if a 3-month-old baby cannot laugh, it should not be underestimated. Because every move of the child is related to his future physical and mental development. Parents don't need to be too anxious. They can try to make their children laugh more, or take their children out to contact new things, so as to arouse their curiosity and desire for knowledge. Of course, not every baby will laugh from three months old. It varies from person to person.

"At two or three, he looks up and smiles to recognize his mother. At four or five, he turns over and speaks eloquently. At six or seven, he can sit up and babbles. At eight or nine, he learns to crawl and calls his dad. At thirteen, he starts to walk. At fifteen, he can talk by looking at pictures. At eighteen, a baby will develop differently. There is no need to worry as long as the baby is normal in other aspects. Generally, babies under one year old need to have health check-ups every three months to monitor their development.

Some babies have a high laugh point and rarely laugh even at 5 or 6 months old. This is normal. As long as the baby has quick reaction and can babble, there is no problem.

You can't judge just based on the fact that your three-month-old baby can't laugh. Look at other situations. If in doubt, take your child to the hospital for a check-up.

Parents can talk to their babies more and tease them more often, which will make it easier for the babies to laugh. However, there is no need to worry too much if the baby cannot laugh but has no problem with other reaction abilities. If you are worried, there will be an intelligence assessment during the three-month checkup, and a specialized doctor will help you with the assessment.

It should be noted that babies who rarely smile in the first few days or even months after birth are likely to grow up to be withdrawn and shy. Babies' laughter is of a purely subconscious nature, but soon they begin to react rationally.

Parents should be reminded that if the baby does not laugh for 3 months, they must pay attention to whether the child has autism. This disease may have existed since infancy. Although the symptoms may not be too serious as the child grows older, when the child reaches adulthood or adolescence, this phenomenon seriously affects the child's psychological development, causing the child to be extremely lonely and have poor language communication skills, which has a greater impact on their future life.
