“He screamed until my mum fed him egusi again” — Mother shocked as 5-month-old refuses to stop eating swallow

A mother has stirred reactions online after narrating how her five-month-old baby dramatically demanded more eba and egusi soup after tasting it for the first time.

The woman shared the incident on social media, explaining that she woke up to find her mother feeding the infant the local delicacy.

According to her, the baby appeared excited while eating and became uncontrollable when she tried to stop him.

Baby rejects milk, demands egusi

In her narration, the mother said she immediately carried the child away after seeing him being fed swallow because of his age.

However, the baby reportedly burst into loud cries and only calmed down after he was returned to his grandmother for another taste of the soup.

“I woke up and found my mum feeding my five-month-old baby eba and egusi soup. The boy was eating with so much zeal. I got angry and carried my baby away, but he started screaming and wailing. He didn’t stop until I gave him back to my mum and she put egusi soup in his mouth again.”

Social media users react

The funny story quickly gained attention online, with many Nigerians joking that the child had already developed a love for traditional meals.

Others recalled similar experiences involving babies showing unusual interest in adult food at an early age.

A similar incident went viral in 2024 when a toddler refused baby cereal and repeatedly demanded amala during a family gathering in Ibadan.
