Omg! While I was reading the title I missed the her. So to me it seemed like a mother was hitting her infant! LOL
IME nothing really helped aside from keeping the baby out of the way. It did get better though when older kid was more mature. (around 2 1/2)

My 3-year old has been hitting my 1-year old for the past year. Nothing helps except separating them 24/7.

LOL, sandyb, I thought the same thing!!
My oldest are 12.5 months apart, and when dd was still a baby (like yours), I would set her up in the hallway right next to the living room, close all the doors, put toys and her play mat, and put up the baby gate. That way, ds couldn't hurt her. Same idea as a play pen, I guess. Btw, I didn't do this all the time, only when I was desperate, so don't go call social services on me!!

I find what helps the most is to try the best way you can, to explain to the toddler that this is painful. These babies learn by example. Hold your infant in your arms, and show your toddler on himself how painful it is, eg. he hits your infant, do it to him but very gently and show him with your finger "no, no". He will eventually get the message.
