You haven't mentioned your baby's age and the type of milk he is already on . In general hunger and desire for food is a natural process and doesn't need to be forced upon him . Maybe you are trying to feed him soon after a milk feed when he may not be showing the necessary desire as he is not hungry . Babies more than 6 months of age also tend to have likes or dislikes of taste . Possibly he is not liking the food he is being fed and needs a change . So you could work on those lines . The process of starting semi solids takes time and patience so as long as the baby is taking adequate quantity of milk and growing , don't panic . Let this transition be a fun time for both you and the baby
