What Causes An Infant To Refuse Solid Food?

My 8month old has turned off his solids in the past 3 weeks. At times I can get him to eat some cereal. Today now he hasnt drank much milk either about 8 ozs. His 4th tooth appeared 2 days ago. He is in good form but isn t eating. Also i think he has got a bit pale looking so concerned about his iron levels. Can you please advice what i should do. Thanks

Hello,

He can have iron fortified cereals to improve iron levels. Give him small amounts of food often. Don't mix too much kinds of vegetables in order to avoid mixed taste.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
