help. hitting

My 10 month old won't stop hitting my face when she gets close enough I've tried a stern NO and to be nice and also putting her down and walking away what else can I do? is this a normal stage?

My daughter did the same thing! She doesn't do it anymore. She'll be one in a week. Keep doing what your doing and it will work.

Must be. My 10 month old does it as well and has for a few weeks now. Well let me rephrase. She started around 9 months and did it for a few weeks. Shes now 10 months and we've seemed to have broken the habit. I'd grab her hand, look her in the eye, sternly say no and swat her little hand. If we were playing or I was holding her I'd put her down or play somewhere else or walk away. After 2-3 weeks she stopped. She'll occassionally do it now if she gets over excited and is playing hard with someone, but a stern no seems to get her back on track.

My lo does this too..he's 13 months though..he hurts me sometimes he hits me though. I've tried telling him no, but it seems to make him even more mad, and starts hitting harder.

My LO did it for a short period. I would grab her hand and stroke my face softly where she hit me and say, ”be nice, like this,” she doesn't hit anymore.

My lo is 9 months and does it too. He also pulls my hair and pinches when he's tired. I tell him no no and put his hand down and he laughs at me

Wow this is crazy I wonder why they go through this stage? where does the aggression come from? well at least I know its not just her, its somewhat normal lol. She laughs when I grab her hand too
