My baby is 6.5 months old and is not accepting any solid food. Have tried banana, apple, chikoo, watermelon, sooji, rice dal veg khichri. He eats maximum 2 spoons that too forcibly and starts refusing. sometimes he starts crying at the sight of food. Not sure how to make him eat. 1st 1 week he was eating quite well.

A. Thanks Doctor. It gets difficult to divert him and feed. I feel like he doesn't like anything other than BM
