Most of u condemning it were feed like dis...d only reason y pple are talking about it now is dat our young women of dis days can't use dis technics...wen a child refuse to eat those days dis is how mothers try to make sure they eat, but now our young mothers choose to by vitamins instead...
Most African children are fed akamu or ogi this way.. Maybe I was fed his way too who know.. But this has been around for a very long time. The food has to go directly down.. Maybe that's why..
Linda you need to know that kids will never love bitter things. I am sure you know that our harbal drink (agbo) had been there even before the western world discover the power of harbal medicine. What I'm trying to say is sample which is you sometimes have to force feed babies for a greater good. I stay by this
In my house we sing, dance, put on cartoon, bribe, promise d world to get the little girl to eat, the boy no problem but what I find most times is, if they don't like it, they just dont. Make sth else
May God protect mothers from insensitive comments like this. Mothers who do this have their child's best intention at heart but carry it out wrongly. Does that make them evil. Please be kind with your words
I saw something exactly like dis @ one Market in Kwara and I was suprised.I had to call d attentn of my Colleague who is Yoruba Igbo but see did not see anytin wrong in dat.I think is common with my pple in SW.
This method of forced feeding has actually resulted in the deaths of some toddlers due to aspiration. Some mothers are just stubborn. If a child is not eating, there must be a reason- either he is sick, does not like the food you are offering or has a problem with chewing and swallowing. Go and see your doctor.
Hahahahaha. Linda if u swear say ur mama no feed u like this U makes urself a lier b4 ur liber's. Anyway its should be abolished by now. Dem feed me like dat ooo. Even Jim Iyke mam feed like dat. GEJ mama feed like that. From grass 2 grace.
Lmaoo...my mum is a guru in this. U just tell ha ur baby has refused to eat nd that's it. The bele go full immediately.lmao. I pity the kids buh ehn, this very 1 I witnessed, the child was ill, was taken to the hospital nd givn drugs buh this baby wnt eat nd so can't use drugs. The baby was gettin lean by the day, d mother was restless. Immediately my mama heard, that pikin chop dt day nd afta a week of force feedin nd usin drugs we had our cheerful baby back. For me o, I don't c any harm,der r some babies dt wnt want anythin to do wit fud nd if u want to do oyinbo way by tube feedin, u will hav to own ur own hospital.
Linda u can't judge until u become a mother dat has a child dat doesn't eat. It's very difficult 2 handle dat kind of child and u can't also leave dat child 2 die of hunger,so I don't see anything wrong with dis.
and all the aunty gwegwegwe,linda inclusive will come out and scream murder. pray u dnt gv birth to a picky child and see if u wnt resort to ds. my child wl never eat unless i gv him cypri gold which i dnt like giving him cos he can sleep al day there by causing slow development. u need to see how frustrating it is and knw if u wnt do worse thing dn ds woman
This is one of the ways anger, hatred and wickedness is planted in one's life. The reason why people from that region take to Street urchin. Who develops love after passing through this. Those women are after seeing the belly of their kids protrude as bog as it can with sour pap so the babies won't go hungry for 24hrs as they hawk their wares from oworonshoki to ajangbadi. God punish hardship.
That is the act of forcing baby to drink palp so that something can stay in his/her tummy atleast...lol some babies don't like to eat anything. People dont do it again though
This is real torture!! See the child's eyes sef...d tin don pop out lik pop corn.. I don't know why some mothers still do this. I dunno how hygienic it is also...#EducationNeeded
Well the woman meant no harm she just wants the child to eat what is available at the moment even if it entails forcing him/her and that's what she just did. It's so unfortunate some kids are still forced this way. Poverty shame to you! #onelovefromsnow#
Its risky yea, bcos a child can easily choke, but some kids will never eat no matter what u do even if they are hungry. So this becomes the only option for the mother.
only ur comment shows ethnuc bias. see ur poor and unfortunate way of thinking. pls be constructive n reasonable in ur comments. say things that will build up and not tear down.
Yea especially in the west, the truth is the child might be rejecting the meal because he or she doesn't like it, so I suggest the best thing to do is try other meals rather than do this.
It's not! My boy was very I'll for 4 days we tried everything we could but he won't eat. It was as if the drugs dont work. when we got home from the hospital his grand ma force feed him the pap she made and immediately he started eating he started getting better. Some children just won't eat so what will you do?

What most of them are ignorant of though is that the child could choke and die. I personally know a child who choked to death while he was being force-fed.
It's so wrong, many children aspirate from forceful feeding like this and die... I've see this many times in my practice .... Health Education and Female education is important in this country... like d saying goes, educate a woman and educate a nation!!
Hmmm.... Linda mind your business! I did same with mine, before I figured out wht food works for them.. but definitely not with the head down; some kids are fussy eaters hey.
It is annoying though but am a mother of a seven month old who would rather go hungry than to eat if you don't want your child to look skinny and sick then you need to force feed
How is it torture when I ve seen children who ll rather starve to death Dan eat, even after multivitamin supplements dey rather die. So u think d mother is happy doin dis to her child, it aches to der bones but if is d only way out, den dey ve no other option. Am learned nd exposed don't even blv in herbs bug sometin re not as barbaric as we d 'educated' tag it
Seriously dis is more than torture. I'm a mother of two and I never fed my kids this way. I think it's poverty too sha cos most people who do dis feed their baby with pap. U know what I mean. And the pikin sabi better food. Let the mother try NAN or any other good baby food and see whether she will need to strangle her baby's neck before taking it.)lol) bur
I wish I can slap this woman, last two weeks that's how we lost a baby in the hospital cos the mother was force feeding and we had no light to give the child oxygen, trust the naija nurses they almost ate the mother raw
Funny thing is I was just discussing abt not being able to do it otherwise would av tried it with my 6month old baby who has refused all kinds of cereal. Its just a way of making sure the baby is fed with or without their consent but definitely for their good. Not all African practice r as bad as dey seem but this particular one requires expertise.
Some kids if u don't force them like this they won't eat. Wait Linda, u de use our comments as ur sanitary pad ni? Why u no de post comment abi he de around?
Linda i disagree with u.most mothers who do this know it's not right but they have to bcos they can't afford d kind of food the baby will like to eat.ahe can't afford to let her child starve either. So the force feeding is inevitably necessary
Linda, your choice of words can really be misleading at times!!! How on earth is this torture?? Is the mother trying to obtain information from the child???
Call it child abuse or child cruelty but it's definitely not torture.!!!
It's not .....its common with the yorubas in the rural areas ....A way of feeding a child who refuses to eat maybe because he or she does not like the taste, so the mother ensures there is something inside the child's stomach disregarding the child's felling.....its safe if done carefully....
If ur baby won't eat, wud u rather let him starve? We are Africans! It's our culture. We rili shud stop throwing away our culture while adopting other's. Many of us were brought up dis way. Note; i'm not saying u shud do dis if u don't know how to. Cos d last time I checked it's dangerous, if u dnt know how 2 do it.
Linda it is not o. Some pikin dey stubborn. Dem no go wan gree eat... na this kain tin fit them. For ooyinbo land, na tube dem dey use for pikins like that.
It's not..its common with the yorubas in the rural areas. it's a way of feeding a child who refuses to eat the normal way,maybe because the child doesn't like the taste of the food...but the mother ensures that there is something in the child's stomach by feeding him or her this way.its safe when done properly....
A yoruba neighbour of mine lost one of her twin like this. And she started crying wolf. Maybe someone should turn this woman upside down so she can understand what this child is going through. This should be a crime!
Pure torture,its poverty though because you need to change food constantly and buy varieties until you find the one the baby likes,thats my method and its worked for my 3kids!
When u have a child who refuses to eat and u can't bear to watch ur child go malnourished, u will do anything to make that child eat. No I don't have a kid yet but I'd very much do this if need be

a.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said.. . Kids hate some gud food and this is the only way to make them eat them and is not like they will die.... . . ***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
MY MAMA WAS AN EXPERT WITH THIS METHOD. SHE DID THIS WITH ALL OF US HER KIDS AND WE ARE ALL ALIVE AND WELL TODAY
I PERSONALLY WON'T DO IT TO MY OWN CHILD BUT IF NECESSARY I WILL ALLOW IT TO BE DONE TO MY CHILD BY SOMEONE ELSE TO SAVE HIS/HER LIFE.
SOME KIDS DON'T EAT AND FORCE IS THE ONLY WAY.
IT IS A 50/50 FOR ME....BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS DONE. IT IS VERY RISKY THAT IS WHY IT SHOULD BE DONE BY SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN THAT FIELD.....LIKE OUR MAMA'S AND GRAND MAMA'S
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO BE DONE UNLESS IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FEED A STARVING/ILL CHILD WHO IS LOOSING WEIGHT RAPIDLY OR WHO NEEDS TO USE MEDICINE.
Pumps jay good one @ apple if u don't know what to say just rest.i don't think u know how we mother's feel if our baby refuses to eat.i feed my son that way from 3 months now he's 9 months old.some children don't like anything food @ anonymous u talk about nan I hv a carton here I Hv tried all baby food no way so forcing him is d only way out.now my baby weighs 10.6 @ 9months so shove it.pap gives carbohydrate while milk gives protein it's a pity u r a naive mother of two cos ur pediatrician would Hv told u too introduce pap or rice based cereal or any cereal at all.so rest n stop commenting shit
I'm based in the Uk and when my first born was 6months I had to go back to work. She refused any sort or baby milk, food, water- everything except breast milk straight from the breast. She even refused pumped breast milk from a bottle. As a result no nursery or child minder would take her without food! I called my mum and she said "bring her"- that'd how she started force feeding her with baby milk. You would think that after a few days my baby would give up and suck bottle but na lie- my mum would always try to get her to suck first. That's how they continued for 6months- my pickin no give up at all. That's how they ku ku became best friends lol my daughter is now a thriving 12yr old
Jeez!! It Should Not Be Stopped, I heard Someone Is Talking About Germ Amarachi Onwuka is that not the way your mother feed you, I don't no what this civilization will turn people to, people are now seeing what we use to do that is our way of life as bad things... adeyemi, MD what is barbaric act in feeding a baby, how were you feed when you're a baby I'm sure you don't no ask your beautiful mother, I haven't heard a story that feeding a baby like leads to death when she is not giving her pepper and we should no a mother will never feed her baby like that if the baby is eating well. To me I don't see it as toture. I see a mother trying to help is baby...lobatan #ITalkTooMuch_Abi? *lol*
Linda, I see why no man wants to marry you... Shallow old maid. Abuse is what you suffered hopping from Dan Foster's bed to otherof your aristo clients. Wicked witch
Haba!!
ReplyDeleteOur grand parents practice dat they practically used to feed stubborn babies.

ReplyDeleteNa culture of some gwari people and some other tribes in nigera. And I heard it need to be mastered by the mom if not the child may suffocate.
ReplyDeleteborn your own first then we go fit accept your views
ReplyDeleteI support this method should be made illegal, it's even dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's one of the causes of infant mortality.

ReplyDeleteYou don't know what it's like to have a child who wouldn't eat dats y u are saying dis...Ese
ReplyDeleteOwk! We knw d women who does dis!
ReplyDeleteA yoruba neighbour of mine lost one of her twin like this. And she started crying wolf. Maybe someone should turn this woman upside down so she can understand what this child is going through. This should be a crime!
ReplyDeletePure torture,its poverty though because you need to change food constantly and buy varieties until you find the one the baby likes,thats my method and its worked for my 3kids!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm, quite a while hav seen dis practice taking place. May its already phase out.
ReplyDelete90% of libers were fed this way during childhood...really don't think so
DeleteInfecting this baby with germs from her hands in the name of feeding...smh

Delete~D great anonymous!

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
I did this to my son last last week because it was necessary. If you have a child that refused to eat u will understand
ReplyDeleteLinda, u hv no right to advocate such. I support d practice. It is a necessary evil/bad dat must b performed for d good of our kids.
ReplyDeleteMY MAMA WAS AN EXPERT WITH THIS METHOD. SHE DID THIS WITH ALL OF US HER KIDS AND WE ARE ALL ALIVE AND WELL TODAY
ReplyDeleteI PERSONALLY WON'T DO IT TO MY OWN CHILD BUT IF NECESSARY I WILL ALLOW IT TO BE DONE TO MY CHILD BY SOMEONE ELSE TO SAVE HIS/HER LIFE.
SOME KIDS DON'T EAT AND FORCE IS THE ONLY WAY.
IT IS A 50/50 FOR ME....BUT I UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS DONE. IT IS VERY RISKY THAT IS WHY IT SHOULD BE DONE BY SOMEONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE IN THAT FIELD.....LIKE OUR MAMA'S AND GRAND MAMA'S
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT TO BE DONE UNLESS IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FEED A STARVING/ILL CHILD WHO IS LOOSING WEIGHT RAPIDLY OR WHO NEEDS TO USE MEDICINE.
Pumps jay good one @ apple if u don't know what to say just rest.i don't think u know how we mother's feel if our baby refuses to eat.i feed my son that way from 3 months now he's 9 months old.some children don't like anything food @ anonymous u talk about nan I hv a carton here I Hv tried all baby food no way so forcing him is d only way out.now my baby weighs 10.6 @ 9months so shove it.pap gives carbohydrate while milk gives protein it's a pity u r a naive mother of two cos ur pediatrician would Hv told u too introduce pap or rice based cereal or any cereal at all.so rest n stop commenting shit
ReplyDeleteI'm based in the Uk and when my first born was 6months I had to go back to work. She refused any sort or baby milk, food, water- everything except breast milk straight from the breast. She even refused pumped breast milk from a bottle. As a result no nursery or child minder would take her without food! I called my mum and she said "bring her"- that'd how she started force feeding her with baby milk. You would think that after a few days my baby would give up and suck bottle but na lie- my mum would always try to get her to suck first. That's how they continued for 6months- my pickin no give up at all. That's how they ku ku became best friends lol my daughter is now a thriving 12yr old
ReplyDeleteJeez!! It Should Not Be Stopped, I heard Someone Is Talking About Germ
ReplyDeleteAmarachi Onwuka is that not the way your mother feed you, I don't no what this civilization will turn people to, people are now seeing what we use to do that is our way of life as bad things... adeyemi, MD what is barbaric act in feeding a baby, how were you feed when you're a baby I'm sure you don't no ask your beautiful mother, I haven't heard a story that feeding a baby like leads to death when she is not giving her pepper and we should no a mother will never feed her baby like that if the baby is eating well. To me I don't see it as toture. I see a mother trying to help is baby...lobatan #ITalkTooMuch_Abi? *lol*
Linda, I see why no man wants to marry you... Shallow old maid. Abuse is what you suffered hopping from Dan Foster's bed to otherof your aristo clients. Wicked witch
