Baby hitting
My baby keeps slapping me and others in the face. I’ve tried to google if this is normal but it just tells me about toddler tantrums. She’s 11 months old, is anyone else’s baby doing this?

We say no, we don't hit or no, we don't bite. Sometimes I'll show how to be gentle. We went through a stage of hitting and biting, it still happens sometimes but it's much better. I know he's just a baby but it really hurts sometimes. He's 10.5 months.
I think it’s quite a normal thing. My baby does it. She’s just a very handsy baby and wants to touch our faces. I don’t think she’s doing it to hurt us. We just hold her hand gently and redirect her attention to something else because although she’s not doing it to hurt us it still hurts if her nails catch our skin or gets us in the eye or mouth

My baby is also an aggressive lover - she loves people so much she just smacks and wave her hands around so much even on other kids! We really try to show her soft hands and show her how to do it, but we haven't seen much improvement yet xx
