*Don't force your baby to eat otherwise he will develop food aversion.
*Offer only one food everyday.Otherwise he will develop choices.
*Try some talking/Dancing toys to distract him while feeding.
*At first give very thin custard/cereal gradually make it more solid.
*Reduce the amount of milk you fed him earlier.So he will develop fondness and apetite for solid
