Be relaxed. You have to get yourself prepared along with other family members to tackle him. You need to consult to rule out any hidden organic disease even if your child looks apparently normal and playful as due to preferential feeding there might be associated micronutrients deficit. There is need to identify growth delays and atopic conditions. Now coming back to point, start giving small portions of the meals, in more diversity, in short 3hourly intervals. Do not offer liquids before but after a meal. Try to prevent outside juice and chips. Encourage the baby to self feed, and let him mess things up. Do not tie him up with mobiles or television which might distract him. Maintain neutral attitude, no bribe, no shouting or scolding. Rest you need to consult.
