First time mother and my 14 month old wont stop hitting herself. Every time she cries or doesn't get what she wants she smacks herself in the face. I always tell her nice baby. Is there anything else I could do? Is this a sign that something is really wrong with her?

I'm also a new time mom and My son did this for a long time still tries.. is then not knowing how to manage big emotions it took him a while to outgrow this behavior but it's normal in my opinion he is nearly 3 now

It's a form of self regulation. Try teaching her to blow out to calm herself instead
