I also passed thru same phase.
What i used to do was cook some rice in a vessel with lots of water, cover the vessel with lid and let it cook for 10-20 mins then drain out all the extra water using some net and dont forget to grind the rice in mixie, make it in puree form - Now make ur baby eat with yogurt.
Also you can try Banana Shake - Give it with spoon.
You can also give vegi' s with yogurt.
This phase will pass soon
Keep trying. All the Best

I can really understand ur feelings. I have also gone through the same pase and i know that it' s really frustrating when the kid dosen' t eat anything.

U can try offering him only veggies like without dhal or rice. Boil veggies like beans etc and make it a fine paste and feed him.

Try to mix banana with other fruits like apple, pears with a little bit of cardamom powder.

good luck !

I too faced the same problem with my daughter in 7th month.. but she automatically started eating ... u do one thing cook small quantity of rice separately not in cooker so that u can cook very soft for her by adding more water ... mix small quantity of rasam and ghee its very tasty .I t shoulb semi solid not very loose or very thick and give her in small quantity with hand and in sitting position...

And one more recipe.. take all dals toor,moong and chana in small quantity and fry them in kadai with out oil little tehy turn light browm and for each dal quantity add one quantity of rice ..i.e if u take one cup od moong dal then 3 cups of rice.. so totally u should take9 cups of rice and u fry rice also till they tehy are brown and grind by adding 2-3 tb spoons of jeera , till they become smooth powder..
boil this powder with water daily *start with 1 spoon * in to semi solid i.e as we mix cerelac and add some salt and ghee and feed him this is also tasty and healthy for kids ..

first few days tehy refuse this also once tehy start eating rice they will eat this very easily.
keep trying if tehy eat one spoon also let them and try again or give him what he likes and again try ..

All the best
dont worry thjis happens with all kids
