Hi
Please don't feed your baby forcefully.

When my baby turned 6.5 months I made a food chart so that I don't have to think daily about what what to give.
With time I make changes as per season or consistency (Puree-Semi Solid or Solid)
I try and follow the chart as much as I can.
Sharing meal options with you, hope it helps you and your baby.

Breakfast Option
Apple-Fig-Dates Puree 
Apple-Fig-Dates with Oats
Pear-Apple-Dates
Banana shake
Strawberry-Apple
Chicco Shake
Oats Milk and Banana

Major Meals and Inbetween Meals
Carrot-Pumpkin-Bean and Nut powder
Spinach and Potato
Thick Homemade tomato soup with lots of veggies
Boiled potatoes
Sweet Potato
Beetroot-Carrot-Potato
Daliya with lots of veggies 
Desi Ghee Parantha
Dal Rice (all kinds of dal)
Suji Kheer
Upma
Eggs after 9 months

Freshly Extracted Juices at home from fresh fruits - During Evenings
Pomegranate juice
Kiwi and Orange
Apple And Orange

Mix or improvise as per baby's liking or taste.

I try and give everything toy baby so that she develops habit of Eating all veggies and pulses.
**No Salt, Sugar for baby untill 1 yr hence I add different things for taste like Dhaniya, Basil, thyme, parsley, heeng, ginger, garlic, lemon, coconut Powder etc

For sweet food, I add dates as a natural sweetner.

Try only one new food at a time and always check for any signs of allergy.
Also I recommend to introduce new food to your baby in the morning or afternoon.

Hope this helps you.

hi
all babies are different so they have their own specific sleep and feeding patterns.
so please feed your child as per his or her requirements.
please stop force feeding.
your child might reject food because of teething,so please give massage with clean finger on sore gums of your child.
offer different dishes with different taste.
make food presentation attractive
for example
use carrots beetroot palak etc to make your child food more colorful.
it will help to encourage your child to take interest in food.
maintain proper gap between meal and snacks time.
you can keep gap of 2 or 3 hours.
