Hi dear
I am a doctor and a mum of a 3 year old myself
Kids in the initial years change a lot and all kids are different and they learn to eat in their own way and time.
Don't get disheartened I know it gives a mother lot of tension but if ur babies height and weight is above 50 percentile on growth chart then u don't have to worry much .
Now coming to making the child eat keep on trying different foods eventually he will start like something. See when the child is happy and in good mood then offer something because once they are cranky they will refuse everything and not try it and again feed .
So don't wait till they are very hungry kr sleepy.
Gradually decrease the quantity of feeding and increase the food intake . Offer different types of fruits as well .
Having said that it takes lot of patience but they will start eating mine start eating properly after 2 years of age so don't loose hope.
Kindly consult in case of any others query
Take care
