Preemies

Laughing?

DD was born at 35 weeks. She will be 6 months (actual age) next week. She has only laughed a handful of times. It just seems really late.

Re: Laughing?

  • We get intermittent giggles -- and have been for a few weeks -- but no belly laughs or like hard core giggles or anything. Girls are now just over 7 months actual, 4.5 adjusted. I wouldn't be too worried.

    The nurses told me (as far as smiling) that it can happen early because of overstimulation or late because of the preemie status.  So basically anything is normal - I wouldn't worry. DD is 10 weeks old and were still waiting on her to start smiling.

  • We're right at 6 months adjusted, and we have to work hard to entertain. We're just starting to get some good, hearty belly laughs. The dog gets the best ones, actually!

    Same with my 35 weeker. He just started small laughs a couple weeks ago but not full blown laughter. I don't think it's late since babies are gonna do what they want and can when they are ready.
  • My DD was born at 32 weeks and just turned 9 months old yesterday. I guess she's 7 months adjusted. I wouldn't worry about laughing/smiling. It will happen! I think it's hard to know what milestones to adjust for. Some stuff she's right on track and then late for some. No big deal! My DD smiles a lot, but I think she started laughing around 8 months. I shot this video of her a month ago.
