Hello
I will suggest you some tips. Try to follow them
1. Try new foods.
2. Make almost every fruit available at home, so that you can try and build his taste.
3. Look for more healthy options. Lets say if your child doesn't want to drink milk, then make a rice pudding out of it or make ice cream.
4. Add nuts in his diet. If he is not liking to eat it as a nut then crush it with Sugar candy and give him. He will love it
5. Choose more alternatives. He is not liking pulses the try sprouts by adding little lemon juice to it.
6. You need to know about his likings and dislikings about the foods.
7. If he doesn't want to eat fruit as a whole, then make ice cream out of fruits. Lets say...about mango...crush it ginder add little honey to it and put it in ice cream tray. Let it freeze and give it to your little one.
8. Make finger foods for the young one. Call these finger foods playful such as:

apple moons (thinly sliced)
avocado boats (a quarter of an avocado)
banana wheels
broccoli trees (steamed broccoli florets)
carrot swords (cooked and thinly sliced)
cheese building blocks
egg canoes (hard- boiled egg wedges)
little O’s (o-shaped cereal)

Thanks
