    DD has been doing it all morning, and as soon as I look at her she smiles and giggles. So cheeky!

    DS used to do fake sneezes as he liked it when I said "bless you"... He just wanted a bit of a giggle...

    It might just be a way of catching your attention for a little talk and giggle...???

    DD was doing exactly that a couple of weeks ago at that age.

    I think she just learned how to cough intentionally and was enjoying it. It was pretty funny to watch her coughing and grinning and coughing some more.

    Not to worry you but other reasons for children coughing in a fake kind of way include asthma and nervousness.... but it doesn't sound like it could be the case here though.

    Bella does it all the time! We say "thats a terrible cough" and she will do it again and it cracks her up! So cute!
