Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The babies at that age are more interested in play.
You have to take more time for feeding the baby.
Feed while telling a story or singing a song.
Make the feeding a pleasant experience for the baby.
Appreciate her and reward her if she eats and do not get annoyed if she doesn't.
Feed those foods the child likes most.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
