If drunk/high, I’d say yes, give it a shot, but watch out for biters…

That advice also applies to babies. Also: droolers of any age.

My kids are 2 and 4 and I routinely did this. It works! They love it! They’d reach out and try to put my fingers back in place if I stopped. You can also smush on their bellies and get some vibrato from their diaphragm.

You know when you put your finger sideways between your lips, and move it up and down to make a wublublublub noise? You can also do that to (small) kids when they cry. Often they’re so surprised they stop crying.
