any of your kids do this? Dd is 5 months old and recently started making a noise that sounds like a fake cough. She looks totally happy and isn't sick otherwise. I've heard other people say their babies do it for attention, but I'm just curious if anyone here had the same experience.

DD did that somewhere around 5 or 6 months. The pedi told us it's very common, and as long as she isn't coughing in her sleep too, it's just a fake attention-getting cough as opposed to being sick.
Yes! Mine started right around 5.5 months. I think it started just as a discovery of a new sound he could make, but the attention has definitely reinforced it.
