A. Hello mom No matter what you have to stop giving puréed foods , it’s not easy but that’s the only way as you have already tried lot of other methods. Kids play a lot of mind games and they tend to get stubborn at times to get what they want once you get firm with your decision over a period of time it would settle down . Teach him in a playway method about it . Offer him cut fruits or crackers , Makhanas etc give him food from your plate
