thankyou Hetal replied. expect loss of apetite during vacintns upto 4days,,the more than that, make it a concern to your dr.
now about cereal,,wat is quantity of cereal and such other foods that you are offering,,can you try to offer your 8month old as below,,,see if the varieties and diff foods makes him feel interested in solids !
try these and prepare your child appealing with diff colours, textures, flavours, make him play with food and make him sit alongwith your meal time when its his meal time !introduce him to other foods,,and check the belw links and see if it helps him to recover from loss of apetite :
