- Aproko doctor noted that force-feeding kids can pose potential risks to their health
Aprokodoctor, a well-known social media personality and healthcare professional, recently provided new parents with insightful guidance on how to properly feed their infants.
In a recent Instagram post, He raised awareness of a significant issue, notably the practice of forcing children to eat, which has been present in many African communities.
This conventional method entails putting the youngster on the parent’s lap and making an effort to force large amounts of food into the child’s mouth.
The potential risks of such feeding techniques are emphasized by Aprokodoctor’s understanding of the situation.
He noted that force-feeding poses a serious risk to the child’s health because food can accidentally enter the child’s airways due to the positions in which babies are held during this practice.
The food can unintentionally enter the child’s lungs, which could cause choking or other respiratory problems.
Aprokodoctor provided new parents with appropriate counsel in response to this issue, emphasizing the value of taking their time when feeding their infants.

In another story, Aproko doctor shared the risks associated with smoking of Shisha, he explained that “Smoking of shisha can cause breast cancer”.
Shisha smoking has gained popularity as a social activity, especially among younger people, but it is known to have many adverse health effects.
While breast cancer is commonly associated with genetics and lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, the risk of developing the disease can also be influenced by environmental factors, including smoking.
Dr. Aproko has stressed that, contrary to popular belief, shisha can have major health implications.

Dr. Aproko strongly advices young people to avoid shisha to reduce their risk of breast cancer. Even delicious variants, such as pineapple can deceive in terms of their safety.
