Brief Answer:
I won't get overly worried if baby's growth is fine
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
I have gone through the detail and do understand your concern.
Most of the babies of this age are fussy eaters or having eating disorder. They prefer to play rather than eating.
I would like to know the height and weight of baby.
I won't get worried if baby's growth is normal for age.
Regarding feed my suggestion is that don't force ,rather encourage him.One should not make a fixed diet chart but there should be variety of nutritional food.
Keep trying,give cereals,mashed vegetable,fruits etc.You may give rice,dal,roti mashed in dal,mashed apple,mashed banana,oats,daliya,kichdi,suji ka halwa.Give frequent small feeds,as per his demand.There should be 3 major meals made up of cereals and 2-3snacks which should include fruit and vegetable.Also continue giving milk.
Don't get anxious as due to anxiety you will not be able to take care of the baby.
Cough and cold is normal in early age may be upto 6-10 times a year.If the illness does not need admission,there is nothing to worry.
I hope this helps.
I shall be glad to help you out if you have any more doubt.
