Gud evening madam,don't be so worried.Try to introduce foods in soft cooked form by changing its forms or in other words I will say present foods in a more colourful way which will raise his interest towards the foods u will feed him.Try to give foods on small amounts on 2.5 to 3hrs of gap small meals rather than large one on very long hrs of gap.if he dislikes suppose plain rice to eat with dual soup n mashed potaotes then u can give him in the form of sweet soft cooked moong dhal added khichdi or vegs added khichdi but but in very soft cooked mashed form which he can easily digest ok.Try to understand his child psychology,don't pressurise him to eat foods forcefully,keep patience.in our child hood also we are not showing that much interest to have foods at the very beginning gradually we learn how to eat n show our interest to eat healthy foods.
Next Steps
if u need a thorough guidance then connect through practo instant consultation.my timing morning 8-to 10am n evening 5 to 7pm excluding fridays.Pls take prior appointment for consultation.

Well it happens at times when infants at their transition stage from infancy to become a toddler, face growth spurt. In this phase they face some changes in their moods, may become irritated often or may show sudden likeliness or dislike behaviour towards food pattern. At times they may also show this kind of behaviour when they are teething. So there is nothing to worry about.
Anyhow to grow their interest towards food you may opt for their favourite food items. If they like peanut butter you may add some to their meal. You may also go for yogurt, or low-fat salad dressings. Cut fruits into different shapes to grow their interest. Make their meal a fun time. In short you need to be a bit patient with the child .. give some time to them to make them eat the food their way🙂
Next Steps
for personalized diet plan please contact me personally.
thank you

As at around one year there is a transition from liquid to fluid to soft cooked to kind of normal cooked foods and due to changes in the growth pattern at infancy you can expect changes such as likes and dis likes towards foods,the texture etc
Closely understand the specific factors concerned with FOODS the way the child is trying to figure out ,based on this understanding you can come to a conclusion of introducing that particular specificity in the foods you are feeding him by which an interest can be aroused
Next Steps
The best way is to introduce bite size of soft cooked foods such as vegetables and help him to start to pick up on his own and try to teach him to eat
This can be attempted when the entire family members are having their meals
