How do you get a 10 month old to stop spitting????

[Claire]

Well, no one in my family believed me when I said that the spitting had gotten bad.... I caught my daughter's cold and my mom has been helping me out the past few days... I've never heard my mom yell like that during dinner! By the time she was done feeding Mia they were both covered in carrots and pears!!! Of course I had to laugh quietly in the corner. She spit at my mom with every bite! The "ignore her" thing is not working!!!!!!! It makes her do it even more!!!! I think I'd rather the biting then the spitting, at least with biting you don't have to clean baby food off of the ceiling!!!!!

My initial response was spank the crap out 'em. But that's more then likely not the best solution. My daughter once did something at the mall and I made her stand in the a corner between 2 stores. She was great for the rest of the day.

My youngest used to bite. I crammed a bar of soap in her mouth and she never did it again.

Not saying these were the best or smartest solutions but at the time it worked.

Kids need manuals.

I was thinking the same thing...I am not condoning spanking, but if I did that when I was little my mom would have smacked me in the face.
