You gotta be kidding me? You think that my 1-year-old daughter doing what babies do is doing so because that's what I'm teaching her?
Or did I just misconstrue what you said?
I really don't know what you're teaching her from the sketchy info you've given us. I only know that apparently you take her to restaurants and when she screams you either make a joke, or you do something that is not working (telling a one year old to shhh).
However, a one year old can certainly start seeing consequences for unwanted behavior. And, if not, then wait until she's a little older before you inflict her on others. She's clearly not learning good restaurant behavior with the method you're using (unless you're doing something you haven't shared with us).

No one is talking about babies. We are talking about children who have bad manners. If they don't behave in public they shouldn't be in public. Parents are supposed to teach children manners. By the age of 2 they will know what is acceptable and what isn't.
