Aprokodoctor, a well-known social media figure and healthcare expert, recently provided crucial advise to new parents on how to properly feed their infants.
He put light on a critical issue that has persisted in many African communities, namely the practice of force-feeding children.
The traditional method is placing the youngster on the parent’s lap and attempting to force large amounts of food into the child’s mouth.
Aprokodoctor’s understanding of the situation highlights the possible risks of such feeding approaches.
He noted that force-feeding, particularly in the positions in which babies are held during this practice, might result in food entering the child’s airways, posing a serious risk to the child’s health.
The meal could be inadvertently inhaled into the child’s lungs, causing choking or other respiratory difficulties.
Aprokodoctor responded to this issue by giving excellent advise to new parents, emphasizing the need of taking their time when feeding their infants.
