This is due to picky eating. Kindly follow the below steps
Establish Routine: Offer meals at regular times to build hunger and predictability.
Divide Responsibility: Parents provide the food and structure; the child decides what and how much to eat.
Reduce Pressure: Maintain a calm and positive meal environment. Avoid bribery or forcing him to eat.
Gradual Exposure: Slowly introduce tiny amounts of new textures into his preferred mashed foods.
Next Steps
consult doctor for further details and discussion
