5 & 1/2 Month Old Not Laughing

Hi!

FTM here. We have had a couple of slight giggles but nothing like a belly laugh. He suffers still from colic so has been a very unsettled baby. Smiles very big though!

Any thoughts?!

I wouldn't worry, he's still young. My DD didn't laugh properly until she was about 8 months or so, and even now (at 16 months) she's never been the type of baby that does those lovely belly laughs. We've always had to try quite hard to get a laugh out of her though she is very smiley!
