Damn.. .. You're forcing feeding him? So so wrong Give him children multivitamins and he'll feel hungry.. And dont feed him immediately. Let him crave for it.. He'll have no choice but to take whatever you give him and don't forget to give him fluid You cook nutritious foods and blend like cooked carrots ,sweet potatoes and Titus fish or chicken Pretend you're eating then he'll want to have a taste |

Your baby probably just wants solid food, it's not every child that inclines towards liquids after weaning. Try Beans, mashed with Titus fish and crayfish. You can introduce little eba with okra soup and titus and crayfish. Also try Unripe banana porridge- grate banana, add crayfish and Titus fish with small pumpkin. 1 Like |

Op nothing is wrong with the baby. When he is hungry don't breast feed him. Let the baby cry, fall asleep and wake up very hungry. She'll eat the cereal. Just make sure the cereal is very light and watery. Next time start your cereals at 4-5 months. My kids at 5months are already eating eba or mashed yam. I have 6 healthy kids. 3 Likes |

You need to continue introducing different kinds of food to your baby. Try a little bit of beans, dodo, apple sauce or orange in a plate. Don't put just beans, you need to add little bit of different kinds of food. So if he doesn't like beans,he might like dodo or corn. Please don't force feed your child, it's dangerous. Also look for colorful plate and spoon to catch his attention. 1 Like |

I understand your plight because I've experienced it myself. You should have started introducing to these foods, bit by bit at five months, so by the time u start fully at 6 months, the baby will be used to them. But don't worry, with persistence, your baby will forgo his love for breast milk. |

Reason I advice people to wean early cos by the time the child is able to discern the taste of breastmilk from cereal it sometimes becomes difficult to wean the child. Am afraid you might just have to keep breastfeeding him till a year or two also try giving him tea. |

Cornido:try it without milk for him and if he doesn't take it then reduce his breast intake so he will be hungry to take some other food. |

Cornido:if he likes what you are eating then make that his food, mash or blend it to make it like baby food. My ten month old would gladly eat home made food without sugar but hates store bought cereal or any sweetened food.

[/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] |

@Cornido As a doctor in children care, I will advice you to keep trying to introduce your baby to new foods. Remember, a baby needs to be introduced to a new food at least 15 times before he or she adapts to it. Keep breastfeeding him but not exclusively. The teaching is that a baby should be breastfed till 2 years of life, however breastmilk shouldn't be the main meal as the caloric content is no longer enough for your baby. Never ever try to force-feeding your child pls. We have lost lots of babies that way. I understand how frustrating this is but you aren't alone in the struggle. At 9 months, your baby can indeed eat all foods but not all are appropriate complementary feeds. In our society, corn based meals eg pap fortified with milk, soy, sugar, crayfish, palm oil, ground or cerelac, nutrients etc remains the best food for our babies. During meal times be extremely patient and dedicate at least a couple of hours to ensure your child feeds the right way. Multivitamins eg abidec is also appropriate as long as it is given in the right dosages to avoid overdose a disease its side effects. Ignore the trolls on your thread aka silly things desperately seeking for relevance. Their antics precedes them shamelessly. Best of luck 2 Likes |

Cornido:You should have started the solid food training at six months, now he's more aware that's why he refuses to accept any other thing than breast milk. My baby nephew started taking solids by 5/6 months, by 9months he could stand then by 10months he was walking/running already (he eats a lot and all kinds of food too)... now, he's a year and 2months, strongest baby boy ever! |

has the baby started walking?, if not , please note that nothing is wrong with him. He may be trying to loose weight to enable him walk. same thing happened to by little boy when he was 9 month, but make sure he eats by all cost, he will throw the food but still make sure some thing enters his stomach for sustenance. He is absolutely good, just trying to walk. make sure you have enough food when he started walking proper, and get ready, cos those are they time they turn the house upside down. May God bless the child |
