@ellistonpediatrics: Your baby’s laugh is not random. It’s a real-time sign of brain development happening in front of you. Babies laugh when their brain recognizes patterns, predicts outcomes, and notices when something breaks expectation. That’s why peekaboo, silly faces, and “wrong” things become hilarious. And laughter doesn’t just reflect learning — it strengthens it. Every giggle releases dopamine, helping build memory, connection, and emotional development. A baby who laughs with you is not just having fun. They’re building their understanding of the world and of other people. . . . . #pediatrics #childdevelopment #babylaugh NYC pediatrician, tribeca pediatrician, dumbo pediatrician
