I have a very active 16 mt old son who loves to climb on me all the time. My doctor advised me not to let him to it as it could hurt the unborn baby. My husband and I have tried time out with him and tried using a stern voice but he just turns around and laughs and does it again. I know he doesn't know whats going on. And he doesn't respond well to spanking...he grabs the nearest thing and hits back.... any suggestions i'm going crazy and so is my husband.

at 16 months old theres not much you can do my child is the same age and is very active no matter what anyone says spanking him wont help i have found spanking make things worse not better
also if your son is a hyperactive child nothing you can do will work untill he is 6 and they have medicine for it but my 8 year old is hyperactive always has been its something you just have to deal with
try getting your son something fun to play with like a toddler slide its something he can climb on sorry theres not much you can do to stop it

Sorry, but if at 16 months old your son has already stumped you-you are in trouble! You and your husband obviously never had control of your son. Like most first time parents, you probably didn't have the heart to enforce punishment on him for one reason or another. Now you find yourself with a child that you can't control and another one on the way.
Solution: You will have to pick your punishment for your son, and you will HAVE to follow through with it. Tell him what will happen if he climbs on you, and then you must do what you told him you would. If you do this often enough, (it will take time-it took 16 months for your son to get to this point, so don't think that there is a magic spell to get him to suddenly act correctly and listen,) he will learn that mommy and daddy mean what they are saying. If you waver even a little, backslide on what you say, then your son will NEVER take you seriously and he will rule your house as he has up to this point. Your problem is that you have a second child coming, and that child will be helpless against your 16 month old, so you need to get your son under control because this is just the beginning of your troubles, you have school to get through and none of the teachers or administrators will put up your son, they should not have to.

I don't think it's going to hurt the baby the amniotic sac is there to protect the baby. Although it may not be very comfortable for you. Cuddle with him when you lay down and just remove him from you when he is climbing on you. Tell him to climb on dad. My son was 2 when my daughter was born so i can understand at this age they are still very attached to you. Things are going to be a little rough at your house for the next year or so.

there is not any thank you to teenagers around this age. this is a common instinct, and that they'll attempt to climb something. the only element you're able to do is to rearrange our surroundings to maintain him risk-free. while he is going on good of the settee, that could be a solid possibility to be coaching him what "no" potential and back it up by using removing him each and every time. He quickly learns which you do no longer choose him there. additionally, i in my view enable mine over-stability and get a fright, yet with my hand at his back so he grew to become into no longer in threat. Then he pals the "no" with meaning some thing undesirable would desire to ensue.

Spank, spank, spank. Teach him not to hit back. Do it now before it gets to be a problem with your other child. You don't want him hitting the baby.
