DS is so close to laughing and I look absolutely demented trying to make him.. inspire me?

DS is in a happy, smiley mood and keeps getting so close to a proper giggle and I'm determined to get it out of him

I look like I've absolutely lost my marbles and I've got some proper gummy grins but I'm running out of ideas. What made your babies laugh?!

Tickle him

Surely it has to be this?

Pretending to eat her (toes/cheeks/neck) complete with over-the-top chomping and omnomnom noises always gets a proper giggle.

How old is your DS?

My toddler always loved me sniffing his feet and doing a really over the top POOOOOOO THEY STIIIIIINK and jumping back in fake disgust.
Also pretending to eat him made him howl.

Another vote for pretending to eat him 😂 or peekaboo

Make a 'Pop' sound with your finger in the inside of your cheek ( it gets sore after the 20th time though)

Or Peek-a-Boo with a muslin cloth

All babies I've known crack up when you place a muslin over their face and then pull it away. Like proper chortling giggles, it's brilliant!

Following! Mine is 12 weeks and he laughs like a hyena in his sleep but not during the day!

Blowing raspberries on their neck or stomach

Put a tea towel over your face and do a big exaggerated "aaaaa-CHOO!" sneeze so it falls off and onto the baby. This is a guaranteed chuckle fest in my house.

My DS used to giggle at any words with an ‘oo’ in them when he was tiny - especially the word moon (said mooooon)

Pretending to eat them

Peek-a-boo

Fake exaggerated sneezes

Have a serious expression, say POO and then say nothing - always used to work with my nephew when he was little. Bum is another that always works

The most random thing in the world. For me, the first time was out walking her in the pram and I swatted a fly away from her face... well she thought this was the funniest thing she'd ever seen in her life. So I kept making the swatting motion and we were both in fits of giggles for a good few minutes after.
