A. Try giving ur baby finger foods (without choking hazard and you are sure ur baby can chew well and eat) which ur baby can feed on their own . Don't worry about the mess. Some babies don't like to eat until they explore the food themselves. Also try to change the routine menu and introduce new recipes following the two day gap rule. Use different colored plates in different shapes and different types of spoons in different colours to get ur child's attention. Also try regulating the Breastfeeding schedule. Don't feed whenever the child demands. You need not force feed the child with solids but you shouldn't give breastfeed as an alternative. If you do so the child will always be reluctant to try solids.
