Couple things. Potty training. Hitting. Meal plan
Quick info. Mason. Almost 15 months. Breastfed. Only child. Dads been deployed since 6weeks, came home in Nov.
First thing: How and when did you potty train?
Second thing and most important: Why is my child hitting so much?! He hits other kids, us, the dog. At first I was thinking he is just patting "petting" us like the dog. But now its becoming more hurtful and often. Even when I am breastfeeding him he had to pinch, hit my chest or even my face. Its so aggravating!
What we've tried: smacking his had or butt. Holding his hands and looking him in his eye and telling him NO HITTING. Both soft stern voice and loud stern voice. Time out in his room. Extra attention(before the hitting) ignoring him after he's hit. He just laughs at us. Thinks its funny.
Is this just him learning or what? He gets so excited, screeches, balls his fist up, and shakes his hands in the air and/or hits. Mainly our backs or face/head.
HELP!!
Also what do you feed your kiddo? We are super picky and give both BM, baby food and adult food.

I smacked aj hands then looked him in the eyeand told him no. You have to let them know who is boss.
I don't by into if u hit it teaches them it okay. Um nope I got hit and it taught me that I didn't want todo whatever I did again.
When she was 15 months she would hit too. I read that they do to get a reaction on your face. They don't do it because they know it's wrong. Simply hold their hands down firmly (when they hit) and firmly say "no". Just stick to it, they'll get it.
Hitting. The only time I've ever popped her hand is when she slams doors or tries to grab hot things. And that's for her own safety. Other than that I don't believe in hitting.
