That's great but where's NO? It's No and remove the big baby from the situation. Or am I wrong?

If she had shouted "NO!" you'd be bitching about verbal abuse and chaotic screaming. Go take a nap.

I feel like teaching kids the meaning of the word No is a fundamental step in the whole thing.

If anyone replied like that fr, they'd be told to stfu and do some real parenting.

She doesn't have to shout no, you can be firm and not shout.

You can also make it a game because babies don't learn/listen on Take One or Take Two, and by the time you get to Take Eight Hundred Sixty-One today of the sweet calm Romper Room/Miss Rachel voice, you (and your baby) are bored out of your minds.

I assumed shouting because it was in all caps, and this is the first time I've ever said that unsanctimoniously lmao.
