Do We Still Feed Our Babies This Way??? by omonighoblessing(f): 4:01pm On Aug 09, 2016 |
It's sad that force feeding is still a widespread practice among the yoruba mothers(forgive me...my opinion ). This is torture, I can even try it talk less of allowing anyone feed my baby in this manner. Its an ugly and traumatizing scene to behold, this must stop. When you feed a baby with raw cold pap with no milk, how do you expect the baby to accept? Babies have taste buds too 2 Likes 1 Share

my mum said she fed me like this ooo....the most beautiful thing about it is that the child won't remember the mode of feeding he/she was fed with at infant. |

It's used on babies who refused to eat, or do u expect them to allow their babies starve to death simply because they don't want to force-feed them?.... there's really Nothing bad in it as long as it allows the baby eat. 11 Likes |

Guys I still remember the feeling...........I was always worried about why I was being force fed. It is totally inhumane, callous and traumatic. Imagine the position of the baby's head while trying to forcefully feed the baby. It is bad but the point is our mothers never knew aw bad it was. if someone try this with my child, I will personally sue the person. 1 Like |

Force feeding is one of the most dangerous practices out there. It should be stopped. Babies have actually died from that. Yes, I have seen children who died from that. Usually, the food goes into the lungs instead of the stomach in some of these cases. Some children even choke to death from this. Unless a child is sick, he will not refuse to eat when hungry, children are not pretentious. The food also has to make sense, and shouldn't just be plain pap. There are all sorts of nutritious grains out there like soya beans, grinded with groundnut, maybe crayfish that can be made into porridge and given to the child. 3 Likes |

Toor, no matter what u don't feed a child like dat. It's very risky and unhygienic. As an adult put urself in dat baby shoes and know how it feels, can u comfortably eat in dat position with ur head down. Some ppl and dere mentality PPl shld learn to use dere common sense, when anything happens now dey will start blaming dere village witches. It takes a lot of patients to b able to feed a child dat dose nt like eating, no matter how sweet d food.... Some kids like playing around while eating,u need to ff dem around 2 b4 dey will eat and it's nt easy bc it will take time b4 dey finish eating. Most times u will just give up and end up forcing d child. Dats why u need alot of patience... 2 Likes |

Re: Do We Still Feed Our Babies This Way??? by Exponental(m): 9:22am On Aug 11, 2016 |
The positioning is bad. The action is unhygienic. The food itself might not be nutritious. ...... It's not a wicked intention of the mother but love so as not to starve the baby but however, positioning could be corrected, action made more hygienic and food made more nutritious. ..... For the non Yorubas, how do you manage situations of baby not eating Don't just insult Yoruba, share your tribe's and proffer better solutions if you have any. Maybe your tribe is even worse sef!!! 1 Like |

Sexytemi:I wouldn't encourage this cuz apart from the fact dt it's a form of child abuse, a child cud aspirate ( food/ fluid getting into the trachea) and die from it. There are reasons why a child wud refuse to eat, he may not be hungry, the food may not be palatable or he may even be sick. Mothers shd learn to figure out such issues and address them instead of putting an innocent child through this form of torture. |

Force-feeding has worked for a lot of mothers from ages past. It has never killed any child and though archaic, its one very effective method for feeding a child dat refuse to eat. 1 Like |

Under any circumstance, it's wrong to force feed a child. As an adult, imagine eating with your head upside down.... My niece when she was a toddler doesn't eat. I always wonder how she manages to remain healthy, lively and boisterous throughout the day with just sips of ribena that's all. At other times when I'm less busy, I play a trick on her that will make her eat without realizing it. We sing: Tomi Tomi (that's her name) O ju senu Kolom! It's that Kolom! sound she wants to hear and at each Kolom! sound she laughs and opens her mouth. Before she knows it she has taken ten morsels of Amala and Ewedu. Abeg wetin remain now?

Well, quite a number of us and our older siblings were fed this way. However, with more awareness of negative outcome, mothers know better. I agree with "placeofallure" u need a lot of patience and more so get creative( sing, make funny sounds etc and before u know it, you av achieved ur goal. PS; pls view, like and share my posts, and PATRONISE. Thanks *winks 2 Likes 1 Share |

That's the height of madness Na by force Most times, these children forced to eat this way don't even look fresh |
Re: Do We Still Feed Our Babies This Way??? by Winneygirl(f): 5:18am On Aug 15, 2016 |
This is not a tribal practice. I have seen this among different tribes and the goal remains the same. The mothers mean well. For a child who refuses to eat, I have had to sing, clap and show excitement for every little food accepted in the mouth. It kinda encourages the child. |
Re: Do We Still Feed Our Babies This Way??? by omonighoblessing(f): 2:55pm On Aug 29, 2016 |

Re: Do We Still Feed Our Babies This Way??? by y0rmee: 3:19pm On Aug 29, 2016 |
omonighoblessing: Depends on your location in your version of 'southwest'. It's majorly practiced this way amongst the 'locals', and not amongst the elites and average south-westerners. Quote me anywhere. |
