"The earlier a baby smiles, the smarter he becomes." This sentence does have certain probability and scientific basis. But it doesn't mean that the baby who laughs early must be smarter than the baby who laughs late. After all, whether a baby is smart or not is cultivated by long-term growth education and surrounding environment.
But what parents need to know is that the baby's laughter is a benign stimulus to the development of his brain. Therefore, if the baby laughs early and loves to laugh, the baby is generally smarter.
Let's see how the "baby smile" develops.
In fact, babies don't laugh as happily as adults in life. From the newborn to the growing baby, there is also a process of laughing, from "spontaneous laughter" to "conscious teasing" and then to "laughing out loud", which is a gradual development process, as follows.
1. month (from birth to 1 month)
In fact, many parents should also find that a newborn baby may have a "spontaneous" smile within a few days after birth, that is, the baby often smiles at himself after falling asleep.
When the old man at home sees the baby smiling, he will say that the baby is very smart and knew that he smiled at the adults before the full moon. But in fact, this is the baby's spontaneous smile. Without the mother's stimulation, this kind of smile will appear from time to time. It is a satisfied spontaneous smile that appears after the baby is asleep, full, in good mental state and wakes up.

Babies usually have a "conscious" smile at 1-2 months.
If the parents tease the baby at this time, the baby will consciously smile, be happy, make a "yaya" sound and show an innocent and happy response.
3. Three months after birth
About 3 months after birth, the baby can laugh loudly.
At this time, when parents play with their baby, the baby will not only laugh, but also giggle while laughing; Moreover, this one-month-old baby will interact with his mother. When the mother teases them, the baby's mouth will keep making sounds in response to her mother, as if telling her feelings.
4. 7-8 months after birth
By this month's age, babies will have different smiles for different people, because they have been able to distinguish between relatives and strangers, and they will also smile happily when they see relatives who often appear around them. If strangers tease them, some babies will laugh, some will laugh politely, and they will laugh happily when they see themselves in the mirror.
Two months after delivery, how do mothers "laugh" to promote the baby's development?
1. The mother teased the baby correctly.
Deliberately teasing. About 2 months, the mother can use bells or other toys to make the baby laugh again. The earlier and more frequent the baby laughs, the happier the mood will be, which is conducive to the baby's growth and development.
Daily care and interaction. In addition to "deliberately teasing", in the process of taking care of the baby (such as feeding, changing diapers, getting dressed, putting the child to bed, etc.). ).), mothers should always smile at their babies and chat with them. Attract the baby's attention, make the baby like to look at his mother's face, voice and interaction, and he will dance happily, which is also conducive to the development of big movements and mental health.
Help your baby develop the habit of laughing. Let the baby develop the habit of "laughing" from an early age, which is also conducive to the later "character building", which can make the baby more confident, optimistic and self-controlled in the future;
Think of "laughing" as a way of exercise. Also, you can even use "laughter" as an exercise method, especially for babies who don't go out often and don't like to move, which can make them grow up healthily.
Parents should show their happy and optimistic good mood to their babies.
In addition to making the baby laugh more, parents' attitude towards the baby is also very important. When facing the baby, try to be happy, optimistic and relaxed, avoid showing bad emotions on the face or behavior, and let the baby feel the "unhappy" of mom and dad, thus affecting the baby's "smile development" and delaying the baby's laughter, which is not conducive to the development of brain nerves.
Experiments have also proved that babies who are often teased are not only more lively and lovely than those who are rarely teased in bed for a long time, but also more flexible and sensitive to things around them.
Therefore, the baby "laughs early and laughs happily", which has an important influence on the IQ and physical and mental development in the future, and is also very helpful for the baby to speak as soon as possible.
