Stop force feeding
FORCE FEEDING YOUR BABY IS COMPLETELY WRONG!
And donât start telling me your ancestors did it and ânothing happenedâ!
Who told you nothing happened?
With that kind, something will most likely happen! However, when things happen, people donât attribute it to the force feeding!
1: Force feeding affects the baby psychologically.
And it will manifest in the future as a mental health issue like lack of confidence, low self-esteem, low intelligence (and poor academic performance), bad relationship with food (causing craving junk foods, or over-eating or hate eating, etc) and so on. But, people wonât know force-feeding was the root cause!
2: Force feeding causes a wide range of infections.
Due to poor hygiene, aspiration, and food going to the wrong places, infections usually sets in; yet most mothers will not know itâs caused by force feeding! Diarrhea, vomiting, cough, catarrh, fever, eye pain (and redness), etc. are some symptoms the poor baby may develop.
3: Force feeding traumatizes and kills!
I have seen broken leg bones from the way the mother squeezed the babyâs legs in-between her laps. I have seen babies die from suffocation.
See, I can go on and onâŚ
But, this post is getting too long!
WHATâS THE WAY OUT?
Every normal, healthy baby have good appetite â and will eat. Stop calling your kids âstubbornâ!
The child is not stubborn. If a child refuses to it, thereâs a reason.
The child is:
1) Not hungry
2) Doesnât like the food.
3) Is sick (and has low appetite).
4) Doesnât like the way you feed him/her.
Find the cause. Fix it. Or see your doctor to help you find and fix the problem.
Babies like and need sweet and delicious foods. Do you know how sweet breast milk is? Why will you give pap without sugar and milk?
You can use a new, big injection syringe (without the needle) to feed your child. Or a clean teaspoon and small cup. Your hand is dirty!
This is child abuse!
