A. it's fine.. keep offering.. i suggest you to feed daily roti sabji how much he want.. try to roll the chapati and give to his hand. Try making rice very soft. Add ghee ov the warm rice, and th en add daal and try feeding. own. Try making her sit at one place and keep her occupied with something. Try to distract baby by singing fav rhymes /stories . Initially start with very small quality and gradually increase the quantity. encouraging him to eat on his own.
