Brief Answer:
Further information needed.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Many children are fussy eaters. Before commenting on what you should do I would need you to tell me his daily meal schedule. Be sure to mention if the child has been exclusively breast fed and whether breast feeding is continued till date. Also comment on the solid food intake vs liquid or water intake. Let me know if the child does not want to accept the feeds in his mouth or whether he would like to keep the food in his mouth and not swallow.
I would recommend you not to forcefeed your baby. I will await your response. Based on your inputs I will guide you further.
Regards
