Mothers, take care of the children God bless you with; knowing that you will give an account. Same with the father.

@ OP correct way to feed a hungry baby that did not want to eat. We call it operation you must eat " dole " by fire by force. Very common in Yoruba land. I love everything about my culture. Omo O'dua

I don't see anything wrong in it.It is nt an everyday thing, yoruba mothers only use it as the last means of feeding a hungry baby that has refused to eat.

I remember a Ghanaian lady was jailed in UK for this kind of forceful feeding, which made her kid get fluids in the lungs, then pneumonia then death, I think she was jailed for almost 20 years

Sometimes we Africans cannot really think

This ain't about nowadays mums. Mothers these days hardly try it. It's the older grannies and great grannies that did it in their time. It's being phased out.

It's one of the most dangerous practices ever. Children actually aspirate and can die from it. The food instead of going to their stomach goes into the airways and lungs causing serious fatal damage. I have actually seen instances of babies that died from that cry

Aren't you the same poster who made same statement on similar a thread in past?

Please we shouldn't encourage this practice, it's a dangerous form of restraint and should be abolished. There are many many methods of getting food into children without force.

Sorry, OP didn't ask for that.

But if you insist..

Get a high chair w tray, babies love to feed themselves .
finger food like : Boiled macaroni, ground beef, soft cut up chicken & hotdogs , dry cereals( Cheerios), boiled/steamed veggies (carrots, celery, turnips) & fruits. Etc

*Meal replacement is a good idea too, it's sweet, irresistible and most babies/kids looove it.

Babies don't need too much food at a time, their tummy is still growing .

I always tell my kids they don't have to finish their meals coz I serve healthy snack in between mealtimes.

*Taking Bigger kids grocery shopping to pick their own food choice is a great idea too.
