Yes i have being there, it can be a very frustrating experience. Worse is that the pediatricians would advise you to keep trying different meals. One thing that I can attest to that seemed to work was to get a syringe and try injecting the meal through that into the cheek walls. I hope that works a bit better |

I feel your pain bro, I thank God for my boy, he doesn't select food. Once he can't eat it means he his sick. Swallow is his best meal.... God is your strength just take it easy. 1 Like |

Cornido: Be very careful forcing him to eat by closing his nose, he can choke and die and you will forever feel the guilt and wished you did not force him. Just try to pet and cajole him to eat, with time he will start eating. Get cerelac and other cereals. Omo i really pity you oh... I hope u dont kill that chuld all in the name of closing his nostrils. If u like listen to some people and old folks advice u to close his nostrils and force feed him. When he passes on, they will tell u sorry |

why not try giving the baby some multi vitamins like abidec or so?moreover its nothing serious, with time the baby will start eating properly.Also get Nutriben cereal fruits, that should help as well. |

Well some exclusively breastfed babies turn out this way. Breastmilk tastes like your wife's diet so the baby is already accustomed to the taste of your food. Ur way out is to create kid friendly versions of ur usual meals as in less salt, less pepper, no Knorr and generally make it more nutritional. Load it with crayfish, liver, grated chicken, carrots etc Cornido: |

Even doctors recommend babies should no longer be exclusively breast fed after 6 months... statrboiTolu: |

This is exactly why I don't do exclusive breastfeeding. By the time they are six months they've gotten so used to the taste of breast milk that they want nothing to do with any other cereal or formula. It's time to abandon all that and try real solid food. Eba with ogbono soup, kids love the draw of the soup . . . Mashed beans, rice, yam, stew . . . Mashed chicken, fish e.t.c Just try anything food, he'll certainly settle for something. Also don't feed him often, give it time so he'll get very very hungry. When a child is hungry he's more likely to eat whatever you present. Don't worry, this too shall pass! 1 Like |

My 9-month baby is like that but in reverse, he stopped breast feeding by 2-months, yes it’s not a typo error, well he loved Emfamil and wount take anything else. We have bought golden morn to introduce to his diet. Babies are like that try formular + cereal and don’t close his nose please to avoid choking. Singles wount understand what you are going througg and will probably comment anyhow like the first comment. Try different baby food, there are plant based, like apple and corn or try the potato blend am sure he will find something in there that’ll interest him. Sorry o 1 Like |

A lot of grown ups today were force fed at least once in their childhood years, especially those that grew up in privileged homes, because not eating is a rich man's child's issue. A lot of the parents then were equally strangely very educated. I think the act is bore out of desperation. And besides all your points, a lot of children from privileged homes would still not eat after your 3 points, they see food as a distraction from fun - wont blame them cause they have being pampered silly with options.

statrboiTolu:The trend this days ehn, the babies are no longer full with breastmilk. Before you blink twice they have started shouting again. And their cries ehn, omg. Loud asf. And with the kind of jobs our nursing mums do, they can’t be home all day breastfeeding the baby. Get a tin of enfamil, it’s rich in iron and other nutrients, your baby might just like it. Mix it with Garber baby cereal (corn or oatmeal or wheat) |

profmallor: A two year old died recently from being forced fed, she choked to death. Talk more of an infant. That is a very dangerous practice that should never be encouraged. |

Sagamite: While i don't advocate force feeding, you sir or maam are the one behaving like an illiterate. You obviously have no experience with kids. There are kids that have refused to eat and ended up in the hospital. The theory that they will eat when hungry is false. There are some kids with psychological/neurological issues that are picky with what they want and would rather starve to death. The only thing you can scold the OP for is force feeding. Every other thing is wrong. OP is right to be worried and all they need do is find ways of getting the child to eat. Insinuating a child will eventually eat when hunger wires the child is an ILLITERATE assertion. 4 Likes |
