Cackle

Today, I discovered my 10 month-old is terrified of my laugh. Every time I start to laugh, she screams in terror. It's getting depressing. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Let me guess, does metal relax her as well?

OK, that is kinda tough, but don't stop laughing. In fact, laugh MORE so that she'll get used to it. I knew a ababy boy like this, he outgrew it with lots of exposure :)

Maybe change the way you laugh, it's not that hard

Did you never laugh before she was born? Babies usually do t react like that to noises they heard regularly while in the womb.

Now do that wearing a clown mask.

does it sound like the joker in Dark Knight Rises?

Maybe the OP needs voice therapy so her laugh doesn't sound like an evil cackle.

This too shall pass.

LOL! Wait, on second thought, don't LOL.

Do you laugh like a movie villain? I do and I could understand how it would scare people. Maybe try to bring it back a bit. Do you have a dog? Maybe give the dog pop corn or play it a song?

In a few short years she'll be a teenager screaming in terror pretty much at everything you do. Right now she's just practicing.

"MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
