QUESTIONS THAT NEW MOTHERS ASK.
'My baby is nine months and rejects all the foods I give him. 'I have tried all kinds of food`. 'I have used all coercive methods to force feed him but he only ends up vomiting the feeds, what do I do?'
WEANING THE RIGHT WAY [IKEWEAN] METHOD

I`ll like all pregnant and nursing mother to listen carefully, cause this is major complaints we receive on infants. The challenge here arose from improper weaning method. If weaning is not systematically and sequentially done, it will be attended by hiccuffs. Whenever you decide to wean the baby you MUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS I call Dr. Ikechukwu`s weaning method [Ikewean] for short. First, make sure the child is confortably seated on a high chair facing/making eye contact with you. Next place the food at the centre on table shown in the pic. Then dip spoon inside the plate and scoup half a spoon ful of the food. While maintaining eye contact with the baby launch the spoon into your own mouth. Do this methodically, slowly while maintaining eye contact with the baby. Repeat this a third time. As you sample this meal, try to make mouth and tongue movements to indicate how delicious the food is. You will be petrified during the the next scoup because you adorable baby will lounge forward to taste. At this point, don`t be in a hurry to celebrate a pyrrhic victory. Rather try scooping into your mouth again, but as the baby comes again, take some and share the rest in the spoon with him.                          

                                                                                              

 From this time onward you will be the one begging the baby to reduce feeding. Reason for this Ikewean is because babies like you and I are suspicious and so when you offer her food without tasting it as you eat a different one the baby believes you are cheating on her. She will want to trust you. To earn that trust , you must taste what you give her.I`ll like all pregnant and nursing mother to listen carefully, cause this is major complaints we receive on infants.
