Ignore it when he says it.
If you react each time he will know there is something wrong with it & will keep doing it.

Every kid is different. My older daughter said things from time to time and ignoring it worked. If i didn't react she would stop trying to get a reaction. My younger one is a different story. She likes to say A**. When i ignore it she runs around saying it over and over and over. What seems to be working is giving her an alternative. I remind her that it's a bad word and tell her hiney. When she uses the good word i make a really big deal out of it. "Hiney! That's such a good word !!!"
Funny but it seems to be working. Shes only saying it once in a while now instead of 300 times a day.
The same praise method works with other things too. Any time you tell a kid something is negative you need to give them something positive.

1. NEVER say it around him. If anyone else in your family has been saying it, tell them to STOP.
2. Don't react to it. If he sees that it gets him attention, he'll keep doing it. However, if it goes on because of some other reason than for attention, you should probably try as best you can to explain to him why he shouldn't say it. Calmly and plainly. I know he's just a little baby, but it doesn't hurt to start this kind of thing early.

The BEST way for a kid to stop saying a bad word is by ignoring him/her when he says it. My son use to say the F word all the time when he get pissed,cause he heard it once from one of his grandpa's , combining tv and street talk. WEell, he use to get a tap in his mouth but that didnt do it ,so we just ignore it at certain point and it all dissapeared from his vocabulary.

Not sure exactly which 'B' word you mean, but in general small children (like everyone else) do things for rewards. If you stop reacting to his 'bad' words, he's get bored.
At the moment it sounds like he's having a lot of fun getting you all worked up!
You can ignore it, or if you HAVE to react, just tell him he's being very BORING...the word will help you keep your voice level and bored-sounding.
And, find ways to really react to, and reward other things he says....counting, or naming things, etc.
This kind of technique was taught to me by a psychiatrist who apparently worked with violent offenders in prison...when I met him at a dinner party and asked him how we could stop our infant son waking every night. Using his technique, especially the word 'boring', we stopped the night-shouting in less than 3 nights...amazingly successful.

Hello, first you need to find out were he hear the word and if is a family member better talk to he/she.
second tried to confuse him with the word, like if he said b....
say witch...and then say which.... like that maybe he will forget the word soon, and the most one that wroks INGNORE HIM.... pretend you and the rest of the family that you did not hear the word or what he said, don't even turn around to look at him, until he call you for your name..... it will work.

Ignore it as much as possible, and also try turning it into an ok word - every time he says the B word, say "oh, beach, yay!!" - or any word you can think of close to it - pretty soon he'll convert it over. Good luck!

When my daughter was around 18-20 months she tried to say fork but it sounded like the "F" word which was very embarrassing. We just ignored it and explained to other adults what she meant and eventually she outgrew it.

then you should stop saying the B word... Because your baby is learning on what you guys are saying.. and he hear it a lot so he know how to say it.. That why when I am around kids i donot swear or yell or do anything stupid... (have none but i have cousins but expecting) Just keep that B word out your month and teach him saying something else.. Teach him the ABC or something....
First should have to say around kids...
There a lot of parents out there who swear in front of they kids and the kids learn it.. So you should give a influences on not saying the bad words stuff....It work for me when i was growing up... I learn a lot of swear from my uncle sometime because he swear on things.... but i learn it wrong to swear or say bad word... My friend teach her kids that.. Not say bad words...

Pick another word and say it with just as much force in front of your son.
Then, cover your mouth and say "ooh, I said it".
He'll hopefully pick up on the word and replace the B word.
Be careful what you let your kid hear, he's a baby!
Good luck
