Is it possible for a 3 month old to learn to fake cough? I don’t want to dismiss it as some cute little thing she learned and it turn out to be something. I will obviously ask her pediatrician but was wondering if anyone else’s baby does this ?

my son does that from time to time. sometimes i think it’s just a tickle in his throat or dog hair lol

my baby is 4 months old this but she fake coughs because she thinks it’s funny

My daughter does it too she’s 4 months and she’ll smile when doing it 😂!

My 4 month old does this too. She coughs when things are funny. I think it’s her way of laughing lol

My 4 month old started doing this around 2/3 months but it’s actually her little laugh but kinda sounds like a cough until we actually heard a cough

My daughter does this and she be 4m im Friday . She started since she was 3m

At e months my baby used to fake cough like imitating mom and dad’s laugh

My son coughs because he forgets how to sneeze 😂

Mine does it all the time!! He is 3.5 month and has been doing it for a good 2-3 weeks! We know it is fake because it of course sounds fake and he laughs super hard after🤣🙃

My baby does this soooooo often. I thought it was just mine! She seems to have stopped now that she learned that skill of coughing but for a while she kept coughing but it didn’t sound sick and she had no other symptoms to be concerned of so I didn’t do anything. Let us know what your pediatrician says!

My son learned to cough to call us. 🤣🤣

My son does it when no one is paying attention to him. Like if I sit him in his bouncer to do dishes and he can see I’m not playing or talking to him he’ll randomly cough then smile when I look over. 🤣

Absolutely possible. My advice? Don’t let them see that it freaks you out🤣 for some reason that’s just hilarious to them and makes them do it more

My son fake coughs some times and then cracks up. He things it’s really funny lol

My lo cough then laughs when I call her out on it lol

My son will mock my cough he thinks it’s funny!
