Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Children of that age usually pose problems for feeding.
Take time, tell some stories or sing some rhymes and feed with tender loving care.
At the age of 14 months rice necessary even though you give other foods.
Altenatively you may feed wheat flour chapatis or puri,milk with double boiled rice, paysam,or khichdi.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
