My 11 month old is hitting me in the face and pulling my hair. He thinks it’s funny or maybe thinks it’s a game when I calmly tell him “no hit” “we don’t hit” “be soft” and it’s just not working.

When he drinks the milk goes out the corner of his mouth and his mouth chin & bib gets really wet from it. Does it mean the flow is too fast? He doesn’t choke though.
