Couple questions

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I know some of these have been posted before so I apologize.  DS is into throwing fits lately when he doesn't get what he wants, didn't think it would start this early.  How do we go about punishing them?  I know at 1 they can get timeout and I am just wondering if we can start now (he has 1 month left).  He throws his food on the ground and touches things he shouldn't.  I redirect him but he just goes back so I am not sure what to do.  

He also loves to bite and don't know how to discipline that either.  He is still putting everything in his mouth which is just disgusting because he gets into more things in the house now.  Of course his teething rings and what he should have he doesn't want.  Any way just wondering if anyone's LO was doing the same, not so much of questions I guess just venting and don't know how to handle it.

    I have no idea how a 1 year old would understand time out, let alone an 11 month old. I really think it's totally

    Yeah - I am very nervous about what you are describing, but I agree with PPs. I have no personal experience, but from what I've read it sounds like your LO is too young to be able to understand punishment such as time out. so really it is just an exerci

    I tell her "no" sternly and re-direct. Also, if she wants something she is not supposed to have, I take it away from her and do not give it back if she cries for it. There is not much you can do in terms of discipline at this age, but I think that lett
