How it works

Did he take a bath? The cross shows that he did not; the right side shows what he actually did: sleep.
First put the verb in the ない form, then add 「で」: 食べない→食べないで.
The ない form already includes 「ない」, so just add 「で」. Do not write 「食べないないで」.
Even when talking about the past, use 「ないで」 in the first part. The verb at the end shows the tense.
The person took medicine without eating breakfast. 「ないで」 does not mean “because I skipped breakfast, I took medicine.”
