"A baby who still smiles and laughs can't be seriously ill"

[emkana]

I read this in a book, also had a doctor telling me this, and sort of believe it myself.
But was wondering if anybody had any evidence to the contrary?

mrsnoah, thanks for that, will try them!

National Institute of Health, Washington. HUGE place.. they know all there is to be known.

My ds was laughing and smiling at his cardiologist when he was diagnosed with his serious heart condition which was operated on a week later.

no, I think that's balls personally. I have been with a baby who was smiling and laughing and really very poorly.
but if a baby is laughing and smiling it does mean they're happy
