I have tried so many things post 5 month completion of baby ,but nothing was working out….
As I hail from India , here one cartoon character “Chhota Bheem” & another one which is famous across the world “wheels on the bus” is extremely famous & kids can easily develop connect with this….while watching this cartoon my baby take the feed very easily & comfortably & 🙂 really he dont take a single pie if I pause this cartoon on youtube.
My husband made a Youtube video of baby’s feeding during watching it & posted there (he was considering this trick as a help for feeding) , kindly spare time & have a look on this this as this has become an obcession for my baby
My question is , how can I develop the habbit of taking feed regularly while he not watching the cartoon ?
I have already visited many doctors but baby is not keen to take the feed without watching cartoons
Kindly help & pls suggest what to do………..

Do not worry.
While watching the Video, try shwing him something else which interests him , he/she shall change his habit.
Childern keep changing their preferences.
Best is to feed the child when he/she cries for Milk, not based on Clock.
The Organism knws when food is needed.
Only adukts eat at a fixed hour whether they are hubgry or not.
Then the child will not be influenced be anything else.
Mu suggestion is not to consult Doctors for all these, they will confuse and complicate the issues.
This is a passing Phase.
