For pancakes, the ingredients you're going to need are:

Flour 2-3 cups levelled
Eggs 3
Milk ( a tin)
Sugar 2-3 tablespoons
Baking powder 2 teaspoons levelled
Salt (a little) 1 levelled teaspoon
Vanilla flavour (optional) 1- 2teaspoons
Vegetable oil or margarine for frying.

Also, involving your children while cooking will get them excited to eat whatever they've prepared with mummy.
Like telling one to unwrap seasoning cubes for you, and lifting another to add a little salt to the food...that collective effort you know?

Some foods are early cancer for kids.
Indomie is no. 1, they r too young for processed foods. Forget big man life.

Honestly I tried this and it worked lastnite but how long will I keep a cane when feeding, I guess I will continue with it, d worst is if they don't eat they emaciate easily that's why am so concerned. I will continue to try

Madam noodles should be once in while.very unhealthy something. It's a surprise food in my home.

If you train them with juices, confectionery and noodles, it might be difficult to come around to real food.. Mine is also 5 3 1 and they know meal time is a serious business.
Take them to the toilet before eating.

As a rule no biscuits n the likes until after eating. I hardly buy them sef and my kids school reject them as snacks.

Sit and eat with them. Juice natural fruits, it increases appetite greatly.

Jisi Ike.

You can also give them sweet potatoes and fried eggs, mix beans with ripe plantain or even the sweet potatoes. Just start by giving them foods that are outside the regular eba, rice etc.
......and suspend noodles for now.

Hi, am new here, my 3 kids (5,3,2) detest food a lot, at times i spend close to 2 hours forcing them to it, be it rice, beans, tea or swallow, sometimes I get angry that I beat them in the process, they jus love to eat noodles but I don't want hink its enough, I feel so bad doing it buy I want them to look healthy and nourished like their mates, am tired of it all

Take it easy with them......

I'm like that, just try to find what they love best and give them and garnish it.....

You could as well give them a reward for eating different foods....also you could abolish eating noodles

I'm a picky eater. Beating would not solve anything. I dont eat swallow. Used to love pounded yam and vegetable but i began to vomit it. Can only eat catfish or tilapia, no pap, no golden morn. Them beat me tire but i no still chop the food. I was very skinny as my lunch used to be garri or biscuit. No vex mummy. Nothing you can do. This year i added chicken to my forbidden list as it began making me vomit.

Hi, I don't have kids yet but have you tried making eating these foods you're saying they don't want to eat look fun?

See below for examples with rice...I got them from the net.

STOP buying noodles in your house.

Replace noodles with spaghetti and garnish very well when cooking.

Tell them if they don't eat, you will take them to hospital for injections.

If they are not afraid of injection, use cane.

Happy weekend to us all.

Your own is better. My friend's son is over three and he takes only cereal still. She has tried everything. She gave himmcereal for too long and he got stuck on it.

It depends on what you start them with. If you introduced them to all those foods early enough, they would have adapted to them.

I made mine start eating normal foods quite early and I was hardly doing noodles. I gave her varieties to explore her taste buds. She's almost three and she eats everything food and she is quite adventurous with food.

But OP, your children are past that age now. So just keep at it. Reduce the noodles and keep giving them other foods. When you are eating, put in their mouths too, especially the youngest one.

They have to know that there is more to food than noodles.

make rules. Noodles a should only be a reward for proper food. As a matter of urgency, whoever eats the most of proper food eats the largest noodles at supper.

Eyaaa..

Quit with beating them, please.

As the poster above said, if that's what they fancy, for now, you can inculcate more veggies and protein into noodles to make it more nutritious and rich for them.

Kai, in our days, if you tell my mama say you want chop egg sef dem go tell you say "na from small dem dey know pikin wey go get big eye or thief". We dey manage any eba wey dem mold for plate for all of us to gather with one small shekele meat to share.

Some expert sef dey use their eba gum the meat disappear from soup.

Na there you go see siblings wey worse and thief pass Nigerian politicians I tell you.

Are you my brother?

You just described my family setting then.

Only multivitamin syrups go do the job for you or any of these apetamine syrup. When they take these things one tablespoonful 2x a day, their appetite go triple as they will always be very hungry. Anything you bring they'll eat.

Exactly the problem. Not starting early to introduce foods is the problem.If you feed all day with cereal then they get used to it.

My son's preschool mate was still being fed only cereals and with syringe. Almost 2 yrs old. How! when the baby doesn't have any health issue.

Karleb:
Serve the food.

Get a very good cane.

Keep a straight face.

Order them to eat.

If they don't, give the eldest a correct stroke.

The others will cooperate.

Let them eat with tears in their eyes.


I don't know why Africans are shouting "don't beat them" "don't beat them".

Spanking here is legal, so far you are not abusing them.

lol

They’re picky because you gave them options.

Put your food down and present the healthy options to them every time for the next 2weeks, if they don’t eat they should go to bed hungry. When they get hungry they’ll what what they’re given.

If they know that you won’t break and feed them noodles their hunger will push them to eat, beating won’t solve your problem really.

Growing up, there was nothing like I want this or that, my mother told us what we were eating and that’s that. She did not give room for anyone to think you could have anything else.
