My son 9 months old
Hi Doctor
My son is 9 months old now. He eats only curd rice and not other foods. If I give him other veggies he eats only 2 spoons. I have tried to add veggies to the curd rice and mash them together and give, if the taste changes he is not having it. I am feeding him and he is eating only curd rice and idly. He is 7.750 weight now. Is it normal. But he is active, sitting, crawling and with support he stands. I do have a concern should I do something. When I give him some other foods he is crying and not even swallowing it from his mouth. Just keeping and splitting it out. And he poops 1 to 2 times a day and will change 3 to 4 full diapers daily. Kindly give me a suggestion.

That’s fine. His growth and development is appropriate for his age. As long as he is active, he is getting enough nutrition. Keep trying new foods. They may resist for 10-20 times. But eventually they will accept.
