The evil wizard's big problem is each infant is good for only one shot, and determining if they've had their first real giggle.

There's a significant amount of "misfires" so it may take several to get a good one.

What does the evil wizard do with the "spent" infants? Probably has them raised to be minions, or dragon food. Could be that the process of extracting the giggle magic power also drains their soul.

An army of soulless minions who can't walk (let alone use weapons) and poop their pants isn't very useful.

Dunno, he never says and those who inquire generally aren't heard from again.
