Hitting!

My baby is 13 months old and he’s just started slapping my face, when I say no firmly he either makes a crying noise or looks but then does it again a short while later … is this normal?

It's normal :) mine does it as well 😂 they're just learning, they don't like negativity (i.e being told off) but also like seeing reactions and will be learning from the reactions! Mine now will try his luck and after I've said no do it again but softly 😂 they're just working the world out

Try to not say no and show him what he needs to do instead .. I tried that and worked with my LG .. so I take her hand out it on my face and say gentle kind to mama ..

Yeah I find that if I redirect him on what to do instead or if he's not getting that a different task totally. Sometimes if I see he really wants to hit something I'll tell him to hit his drum, or the big gym ball to get it out of his system
