Aisling has started doing this again too and pinching and man it hurts! and what's worse is when you scold her she laughs. So I switched tactics - I turn my back to her and ignore her - then in a minute I turn back and ask her if she is going to be gentle and explain gentle. After doing that a few times if I turn my back (I am right next to her) she will start petting me gently - then I explain the whole no hitting.
Give it a try - it's working for us (for now!). I have read that they don't truly get that they are hurting you at that age.
