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

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 :)

yeah exposure is the best course of action babies are like sponges so they can get overwhelmed by everything being so new and foreign.

Or try classical conditioning

Maybe conditioning is the problem. If you tend to laugh when you're surprised, the baby will associate the sound with danger.

#39 good idea. Maybe if we taser every child abuse jokester on FML, there would be fewer crappy jokes.

Dont worry OP, i know babies who are scared of their own fart. Your baby will get over your laughter soon.

@ 7 it's actually quite common. A lot of babies are scared of a lot of things at first. You've just got to get them used to it.

You could try laughing like Spongebob or Mandark. Shouldn't take long for you to get into the habit.

Your baby will eventually get used to hearing it OP. Especially if you laugh everyday. Don't let it depress you.
