When I had DS #1, someone told me to avoid saying "no" and creating a negative atmosphere in the house -- when the baby is heading for something that you don't want them to do or is dangerous -- say "ah ah ah" - kinda loud.

DS is now 3 - -but have started doing this with trips (10 months) lately -- its hysterical -- it stops them in their tracks and they turn and look all quizical! I suppose eventually they equate it with "no" -- but at least your not getting in to a habit of yelling "NO NO NO" all the time.
