A. hi...there is food rejection specially when baby is unwell or during teething period. Put the baby in a high chair or in a swing.... Do not swing the swing while feeding.... Use it as a hanging high chair.... This way baby gets caught in one place.... Then u feed her... With full on entertainment... Wherein u r the joker and ur baby is the audience... Keep a box of toys or books handy to aid u in entertaining the baby... I use the swing.... In fact my whole family tree has been using the swing to feed babies... It's a tried and tested idea.... Give breaks in between and swing the baby when there is no food in her mouth.... Do not swing fast... Go slow... N gradually stop n start feeding again... Peekaboo is one of the favorite games for both my daughters... I hide behind the curtains when baby is in swing n we play peekaboo... It's fun for them
