A. hi, even I had the same feel with my baby initially. she used to laugh seeing my mom but not me. Then i decided not to use mobile or have any other entertainment while my baby is awake. i do all playful activities with her to grab her attention. Now once she looks at me she always laughs gracefully. So you too don't worry. if you are doing any of the entertainment activities like I did please try to stop those and try to spend time with your baby. make her laugh and give your precious time to her. Everything will be fine👍 Happy Parenting!!

A. Hi Pooja, thank you for your response. I am asking why she laughs better at strangers but not at me?

A. Infants begin showing a spontaneous "social smile" around age 2 to 3 months, and begin to laugh spontaneously around age 4 months. In addition, between ages 2 and 6 months, infants express other feelings such as anger, sadness, surprise, and fear. Between ages 5 and 6 months, babies begin to exhibit stranger anxiety.
