My DS is 6 months and for some reason he LOVES To crawl to things that are bad. The cord that plugs into our mac, the floor lamp, his highchair...ect. Our biggest issues his him crawling under our end table to get to the computer cord, we will move him away and he goes right back to it. If your LO does something such as this what do you do?

My DH says we should say "NO" and tap his hand (NOT HARD) but I'm not sure if DS understands what "NO" means just yet.

We say "no" to J when he is doing something bad (which isn't much since he's not mobile yet). My pedi said he may not understand the word "no" but he will eventually understand your tone when saying it and associate it with something he's not supposed to do. Babies aren't as clueless as we think they are

Agreed, when I use NO in a stern voice, J really does associate it with something negative and reacts accordingly.

I say no and Molls looks sad and then waits 'til I look away smiles and goes back to what she was doing that was bad. I am royally fvcked.

Definitely, they can tell your tone of voice, body language and facial expression.

When I tell Ethan no, he pouts hardcore. I can't help but laugh. I need to stop doing that before he gets the idea that's cute.

We say "no" in a stern voice when he's fighting diaper changes and tries to roll over and crawl away. I know he knows what it means now because he's still for a few seconds and then smiles and tries it again. He's actually started backtalking recently.

I may be the odd one out but I haven't started telling DS 'no' much yet. I mean, there have been a couple occasions where I have said "stop", but it was mainly an expression of my own frustration as I 'm moving him away from whatever it is-I didn't expect him to get anything from that.
