Is it true that when babies smile it means they see angels?
Question
Hello and blessings,
I heard that very young babies, when they smile, it is a sign that they see angels.
Is this true?
If so, is there a source for this?
Until what age?
And is it a positive thing?
Thank you very much
Answer
Greetings,
If a baby laughs while sleeping or laughs when alone even while awake, this is a sign that a certain spiritual presence is playing, especially if this occurs on the night of Rosh Chodesh.
Therefore, when such a thing happens, one should say: "Go [name], leave from here, there is no share or portion for you here. There is no dwelling here." And say "Vayehi Noam" in its entirety. This should be done by tapping on the nose three times, each time observing this order.
Sources: The Chida, of blessed memory, in his book Devash according to (Ma'arekhet Yud, siman 18) citing Likutei Goral HaAri Zal manuscript.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
