How old is the baby? If he/she is younger than 2 years, there is not much reasoning that you can do. In that case, get down to the baby's eye level, remove the baby away from the person, and give a light tap on his/her hand and say a firm 'no'. Keep on doing that to reinforce the behaviour. If your child is a bit older, reasoning always helps. Try to find out if he is experiencing any kind of trauma/bullying himself.

Yea how old is your baby? Sometimes, she's not really hitting but trying to play, but doesn't have the ability to control her strength yet. But when it happens, always tell her, "no hitting"! Keep reminding her whenever it happens and slowly she'll learn.

Yeah how old is your baby? If they are really small, they might be simply trying to get a response from that person. Just gently show your baby that it they shouldn't do it by shaking your head and saying no.
