I was tickled heaps as a baby and a child, and I certainly don’t stutter nor do I seem to have a “hurt nervous system”! My little ones still get tickled and the younger one will ask to be tickled every now & then. Adorable video!

If a baby doesn’t want to be tickled he/she will wriggle in a different way and cry. The baby is big enough to put his/her right arm across but not stop the tickling but that wouldn’t stop the baby trying to block Dad’s hand. My baby did it once when she was grumpy. If tickling made babies stutter most people would stutter.

I would say that tickling is a form of attention and I certainly consider it to be a love-language. The video shows the dad just shortly tickling the baby, tuned in with babies response. Better tickling your baby, then shaking, neglecting, or abusing it in any form !

I don’t like being tickled myself. But who hasn’t tickled their baby to get that gorgeous chuckle from them?

Geez people, lighten up. People just pick on anything they can.

I reckon there isn’t a mum out there who could confidently say they had never done whatever it took to get their 4 month old giggling. At 4 months old if a baby doesn’t want to be tickled they will scream bloody murder, not giggle for the camera.

Oh! I just think the video is so cute! 🙂
