Not eating is a temporary phase which will pass soon. What is his weight and height? Keep a track of weight. Don't force him to eat. He will rebel against this and not eat. Usually this is nothing to worry about

This is a common problem need careful handling.
Actually every child should start eating solid food by 6 months age and by 1 yr every thing that is regularly made at home should be given. If any item you've not fed he's not go6to e a t after 1year.
First thing in the morning should be solid food not milk biscuits or Tofu.
Next important time is evening should be fed tummy full.
The right amount is a 2 year should eat half of what mother eats.
Next Steps
Hope this helps
