A baby mystery: why is yawning not contagious for babies? When Baby W yawns, it makes me yawn. When I yawn, Baby W just stares. No yawning. I wonder when yawning becomes contagious?

I wonder too when yawning becomes contagious?? Interesting!! I must google that now…
Miss that little guy. Can’t wait to see you all at Christmas!!
AHA! Yawning becomes contagious between the first and second year of life. Who would have known?
