I know there are people that believe something as small as spanking a child is a crime, but it isn't. It shows the child who has the power.

Stern no! then followed by one minute in the corner. Don't kid yourself. He can learn. I have seen it happen. If he's smiling when you say no, then you aren't saying it firmly enough. He wil hear your tone more than the actual meaning of the word at this age.

pop him in the mouth. not hard, you mainly want to to be fast to suprize him. you could also try to be disapointed and basicaly put a guilt trip on him but he may be young for that. you could paddle his butt and then reward him when he does the right things.

Dont even think of disciplining the baby. He is just being a baby. Have patience. The time would discipline him.
