Why does a three-month-old baby not like to laugh?

We all like to see our babies smile. Only when the baby smiles happily will we parents be very happy. But sometimes we will find that our three-month-old baby does not like to laugh. So what is the reason why our three-month-old baby does not like to laugh? Could it be that the baby is feeling uncomfortable? Let’s analyze and understand the reasons why we don’t like to laugh.

Scientists at the University of Delaware in the United States believe that babies who rarely smile in the first few days or even months after birth are likely to grow up to be withdrawn and shy.

Scientists' research also shows that babies' laughter is purely subconscious in nature, but they soon begin to respond rationally, for example: responding to their mother's smile with laughter. Next, the babies show their personalities: some love to smile, some love to frown, and some don't pay much attention to the faces of people around them. Scientists remind parents of the latter two types of babies that they should pay attention to this situation of their children, because children who often frown and get angry in the early days of life are likely to remain like this when they grow up.

Please pay attention to your baby's other behaviors. Could he be autistic?

Infant autism is a disease unique to children under two and a half years old. Boys are more likely to be affected than girls. The cause of the disease is not clear at present, but children with the disease are generally smarter before the onset of the disease.

The clinical manifestations of children with infantile autism are diverse, and generally they have the following symptoms. 1. Extreme loneliness. Some children with this disease behave differently in infancy. For example, when their mothers hold them to feed them, they do not keep their bodies close to the adults; when adults reach out to hug them, the children do not have the normal welcoming posture. 2. Little verbal communication. Includes verbal and non-verbal communication. Children often remain silent or make sounds that are imitative and have no meaning. 3. Forcibly stick to the same format. Once the child adapts to a life pattern, he will repeat it endlessly. Children may have strong anxiety reactions when entering a new environment or changing their dining seats. 4. Special attachment. Children with the disorder may show special interest in, and even develop attachment to, inanimate objects or animals (such as a teacup, a brick, or a chicken). If the things he is attached to are taken away, he will become very anxious or cry loudly. When his demands are met, he will appear calm.

In addition, the children may also show symptoms such as hyperactivity or hypoactivity, mood swings, and sleep disorders; a few children may react too strongly or too weakly to stimuli, such as not knowing how to avoid cars or jumping from heights without knowing the danger; some children may also have strange habits, such as biting certain parts of their body or pulling out their hair. Some of them manifest themselves as shaking the body, or other rhythmic body movements, or continuous rotation around the torso, etc.

Children with infantile autism generally have no other abnormalities except the above symptoms.

After eliminating the above factors, you should spend more time with your baby, hug him more often, make him feel safe and intimate, pay attention to what things can make him happy, take him out for a walk often, and let him slowly adapt to this environment.

It turns out that our baby’s lack of laughter does not necessarily mean that our baby is physically unwell. There are many other possibilities that may cause our baby to not like laughing. So after the above understanding, we all more or less understand the reasons why three-month-old babies don’t like to laugh. Then we must pay attention to observe the baby and let the baby grow up healthily and happily.
