The thing is this.... If you give him a taste of whatever we are eating, he accepts it readily and even comes for more, be it beans, semo, soup, bread, rice etc but he doesn't take enough of it for it to be a meal for him


Now what are you worried about bro?.....


Please give that child anything you eat and stop forcing baby food on him.

My daughter was fed Amala by my sister when she started walking by 7months. My woman was hysterical but I hushed her cos the baby loves it.

The goal is to feed them brother. Whatever you eat and he likes it, give to him and try to make him eat more.

Also get him this drug- supa appetite , it'll make him sleep and hungry for food


Let me add that u must give him a quarter of a tablet o, break it into four places and give him one, either you melt it and mix with his favorite juice or you find a way to make him take it. Especially ask the pharmacist you get it from to tell you the best dosage. My daughter is close to six years and the last time she took it, it was still a quarter of a tablet.

You have the solution right in your palm. You said your baby eats what you guys eat like rice, beans etc. All you need to do is improve on the meal by balancing the diet. If your baby doesn't like baby food like cerelac etc like other babies of his/her age, don't force the baby.

All you need to do is balance it with breast milk.


Cornido:
Pls experienced parents in the house especially Mums, my baby is 9 months old. We just introduced him to cereals but the trouble is he refuses to eat it. We have tried Pap, that one is even worse.
I have to pin his hands and legs, while the Mum tries to force his mouth open just to get a spoonful into his mouth, that is if she can get past the teeth that he won't open. And after all these, he will not swallow, he will just spit everything out and we are back to square one. And the way he cries.........damn
We tried closing his nostrils and mouth to force him to swallow, hmmm, I will never try it again. Continuing only on breast milk is no longer an option cos it doesn't fill him anymore. Pls suggestions

Stop the drug biko. Babies are meant to be active and not sleepy sleepy.

It isn't regular na.

I can't let my baby sleep all the time na, especially now that she goes to school.

I just feel a child needs it only when they don't eat.

Thanks for the heads up Sha.

It happened to my neighbors girl. She prefers eating normal food. Guess your child is like that too. Time you switch to normal food.

Only illiterates use curses to get their points across. It doesn't make you look smart, it simply shows how shallow you are. You mentioned that the kid will eventually eat and i corrected you. There are kids that will rather starve to death. This is a faceless forum. Throwing insults just makes you look weak. Do you actually think your insults will somehow affect me. If life is giving you problems, please see a therapist. Nobody cares about your violent insults on here.

It is not by force to post. The OP asked for advice. He doesn't need your violent insults. Heck nobody on here does. Mr know it all, keep it moving please.

You are a cretinnous fuuktard!

Were the highlighted "academic research" done in your Shalanga University? grin grin grin grin grin

Typical product of a failed education system that pull moronic opinions from their fcking arse and label it "facts". grin grin grin grin grin

Dumb fuuker! You don enter your own. It is a long time I have had the pleasure of intense intellectual humiliation of a complete cretin.

I shall suya you! grin

Has a child frustrated you b4? that he refuses to eat when he is hungry

No!

And if that happened, are you trying to insinuate I would be dumb enough to force-feed the child?

Is that an excuse that you see as justification to force-feed a baby?

Rush the Baby to a peadeatric section of a renowned clinic nearest to you.

Babies health issues are delicate as they aren't able to express what they suffer. Thus only an expert should be made to attend to you the infant/baby.

My daughter did same thing, walai it's so annoying and strenuous trying to force feed a baby and funny enough the breast feeding won't be enough for her. I just gather enough heart one day and wean her off breast patapata(call me names) it's no biggie but the most important thing is that mummy and baby are so happy and strong now. It's just 3weeks now and she finishes 1kg of cerealac in 4days at most 5days. She is 9month now

I don't think there's problem with him coz I'm having a 3yrs+ nephew that doesn't take anything apart from garri or bread and tea even though we do force him to take the bread and tea. I think you need to force it on him stylishly or consult your doc or elderly people
I have been thinking if I am only the one in this Scenario. My Boy will be three this March and has refused to take any kinds of solid food you can name. He seldom eats bread and tea, his only meal has been soluble, we have tried all the tricks we can learn. Once he noticed any additional substance in his golden morn, he will make sure he vomits everything he has taken so far. I stopped complaining when older folks keep blaming us for introducing solid to him late at 9 months.

[/color] guessed it wz cuz of exclusive breastfeeding. Dnt force him, he will still eat. It's just dat after d exclusive breastfeeding dey find it hard to swallow solid food. Start by giving him infant formula prepared with only hot water or tea. Nothing z wrong wit ur child it will only take tym for him to adapt to d new food nd mind u d little he take z enoff for his stomach [color=#770077]

Lol. Thought I was the only one who noticed the constant use of the words cretinous, cretin... He can't help himself. Those words must be used on every post. Poor child... I had thought he was just been silly with a desperate need to seek for relevance on every thread but now I am reconsidering another diagnosis. He might simply be unwell, cos that will explain his limited range and repeated use of vocabulary. Such a sad world

He is lonely. He was rejected in the real world and uses online fora to express his frustration. See how he tries to reply to every single person and curses them out? This is how they start. He probably has very few friends. Let's show him some love before he runs mad from loneliness.

Firstly u started late, u have supposed to have started putting things in her mouth since 4 months, then food in 6month's. However some kids are very selective, u will need to try till u get the one she likes. Don't force feed her, it's dangerous. Try Nigeria cerelac, potato mash, butternut squash, soft amala, rice pudding, brown rice cereal. She will definitely eat one
