As parents, we resort to force-feeding when we have a notion that the child isn’t eating adequately. However, force-feeding will harm your child’s physical, emotional, and psychological health which may last a lifetime.
In the short term, force-feeding leads to vomiting, under-eating issues, irritability, food disorders, and an upset stomach.
In the long run, your baby may associate negatively with food which may lead to unhealthy eating habits. Also, force-feeding leads the baby to miss the satiety signal by the brain. This way the baby doesn’t come to know when their stomach is getting full or when they need to eat more. This can lead to a habit of over-eating, obesity, etc in childhood.
