10month old eating only fruit based food

Question

Asked for Female, 1 Years

My son is turning 10 months old next week. I started his solids at 6 months with fruit and vegetable purees. I tried dal too. Clearly his inclination was towards fruit purees. Currently he eats oats and ragi with mashed fruit like apple, banana for breakfast and dinner. I give him veg khichdi or veg moong dal with hing jeera ghee tempering for lunch, which he eats sometimes. I tried upma, potato mash multiple times but he didn’t eat. Past 2-3 days he has stopped eating khichdi and dal. I mixed banana in his khichdi then he ate. What do I do now? Let me know if you require more details.

Offer him dal and khichdi, other non sweet options. Try curd, chila, etc. Don't give other options even if he refuses, eventually he will eat. Gradually reduce sweet fruits (to once every 3-4 days) Don't add sugar and salt before 1 year. Don't force feed.

Try to give Kichidi and palak rice in semi solid consistency Give dal water and sujji . Continue fruit purées . It’s good but don’t add sugar in it.
