How are we disciplining our babies?

We either distract or do time out if that does work. Our version of time out at the moment is to put him in his play pen where he has free reign to do whatever he wants, instead of doing what he was doing outside of it (most commonly trying to turn off daddys computer). We basically try to teach him that what he is doing is boring often by ignoring him or makes us unhappy by fake crying when he does it (he doesn't understand anger yet), then try to get him to come over to something else more fun.

I saw a video online where someone said discipline could start around 9months and I thought I was too late to start!

Thank you for the tips ❤️

I would say rather than being about discipline, most of what we do is redirecting or correcting as the other mums have said.
An example would be that my boy kept slamming his water cup on the table really hard so I started demonstrating the slamming with a sad face and "no", followed by putting it down gently and doing a yaaay and clap. He now copies this, including the cheer 😄
The tantrums are horribly explosive now though 🥴

I don’t.
Personally, I don’t even “discipline” my almost 4 year old daughter.
With my daughter, I always focussed on the positive and gave no attention to the bad behaviour. I also don’t use the word “naughty” and always say “cheeky”. My girl knows it’s only “naughty” behaviour if you’re doing something that you already know you shouldn’t.
I continue this with my boy now. We overly applaud and give positive attention to good behaviour and listening. If anything I just say no and remove - like if he throws a toy, I literally just don’t give it back and blank the behaviour. Move on. If he bangs his water bottle or throws it, I’ll say “no, we don’t do that” and remove it. Move on.

Don't think they have the idea of good or bad behaviours, nor right or wrong yet. Some it's more we adults teaching them what we want them to do and what we don't want them to do with reasons and explanations.

When she is older I would say she or her behaviour is kind or nice when she does nice things, and say she or her behaviour is naughty or wrong when she's deliberately doing something bad. We need to live with fact. Also, i would redirect but also giving consequences of certain behaviours, e.g. If she deliberately throws food the floor when she's older, there will be no more food till next meal. Atm she doesn't do it deliberately.

Just try to teach to word no and shake your head (remove them from the situation they shouldn't be doing I.e opening cupboards). I personally think way too young for a naughty step. They are still learning
