Baby hitting all of a sudden?

Baby is 1 this month and all of a sudden has started hitting when he is frustrated and just for fun too. He loves to hit us in the face. How do you teach them not to?

Can’t really teach him yet. Just hold his hands when he starts doing it

Too young to “teach” but you can guide them by saying no no that hurts mommy and remove baby’s hands and model gentle touches

Yeah you can't teach at this age. They aren't sure how to express all their feelings. You can redirect them and say no or explain to them why it's bad for practice but there's nothing else you can do.

If it makes you feel better my daughter smacked my glasses off my face twice yesterday 11.5 months
