How to stop my baby from hitting????

Hello to all! I am new to the group and I thought of just jumping in and putting it to good use. I am a single mom to a 20 month old boy who whenever he hears the word no, throws tantrums that include hitting me and pulling my hair. I've tried everything and is now trying to give him timeouts whenever he exhibits this behavior. Besides that what else can I do?

Time out it is a good approach, at that age I think they need any instant and firm response. I think when they act out it is just a way to see how far can they go, so in a way they response he expects is to see the limits. Somehow you have to make him understand that if he wants something, pulling hair is not a good approach.... Vero
