A. Some babies take time to develop taste for solid foods apart from milk. The best way is to not force feed and make eating a fun time. Talk and play with him while feeding. As the food intake is less, it is better to mix variety of foods so that maximum nutrition can be given even in smaller quantities. Keep giving finger foods to develop chewing habits.
