My 10 months old son refuses to eat solids. If I give him formula and solids in pureed or mashed form that is okay with him. But if I try to give him some finger food, he starts crying loudly and creates a fuss. He refuses to open his mouth. I am very worried about his development. How can I give him vegetables and fruits?

Some babies may show resistance till they are about a year old. I know a mother whose baby refused solids till he was about 2 years old. But, he started eating well after that. You may ask your doctor for help.
