Firstly, I can only even attempt to feed in a quiet, dark room. If he hears or sees anything, he will latch on, latch off, latch on, latch off etc until I give up.
Now it's been seven hours since he last ate. I tried to feed him about three hours ago but he wouldn't have any of it.
Just got him home and took him into a dark room. He's fed- but while shouting mmmmmmmmm-mmmaaaaaaa mmmmmmmnmmm-nnnnnnmmaaaa the whole time and kicking and punching me. I have to pin him down to get him to eat at all.
He is partly weaned using baby led weaning but in no way can he be getting enough to eat that way. He barely has the co-ordination to put things in his mouth yet and he just spits things out when he gets them in. he has no teeth.
What do I do, do I let him starve or keep fighting him?
