General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear welcome to ask a doctor service. I read the question and here is my advice.
Many parents find that mealtimes become more difficult as their toddler starts to gain his independence. Although this can be very frustrating, fussy eating is a normal phase in your toddler’s development. It will get better with time.
Your toddler is most likely to eat what he knows. He needs time to learn that unfamiliar foods are safe and enjoyable to eat. He'll gain confidence by watching you and others enjoying the foods he's unsure about.
It’ll also help if you make sure your toddler gets plenty of exercise. Rushing around and playing active games will help him develop a hearty appetite for his meals.
Take care.

Hope I answered the question. If you have any queries let me know if I can assist you further.

Best regards.
