Ds won’t eat. He’s 22 m

We starter weaning just after 6 m. Purees the finger foods. I noticed he would appear to like something then would go off it totally. Finger food consistency thrown. That’s normal at first.
Refuses totally anything more lumpy threw it or screamed and refused. Spat out if ever put any in mouth

From about 12 m things got worse he won’t even try anything new he looks at it likes it’s not food? We try to eat the same to show him we are having it and it is food. He throws it.

I’m the kitchen one day he opened the cupboard and pulled things out one was a baby pouch so he clearly remembers and he gestured he wanted to eat it (he can’t talk yet) he had the whole thing and for 2 weeks after ate lots ! The he refused them again and screams if he sees the pouch

Same with his yogurts he will love or hate. He’s barely eating. A typical day is

Breakfast
Water and a bite of banana, a few smoothie melt snacks (he always seems to choke on banana)

(Used to offer toast or porridge, fruits etc it all gets thrown)

Won’t eat any snacks although always offered fruit water and a biscuit just ignored or throws

Lunch is pasta and chicken or a sandwich and cucumber
Maybe eats a slice of cucumber and one bite literally or throws the lot
Sometimes will have a yog tube (df as cmpa)

Refuses snacks

Dinner we offer what we are having he rarely touches a thing

Has an evening drink of milk and will usually drink that
Has a breastfeed before bed and one about 6am in morning

I’m thinking of asking for his 2 year check to be early ? Because he’s not eating
Will not take vitamins either screams and spits them out

He's clearly been talking tactics with DD.

Things she did eat: crackers, cheerios

The link below divides food up by texture - are there some textures you DS will eat? Even getting DD to eat 'bite and dissolve' was a challenge, though she was keen on chocolate.

One thing the dietitian did say was that getting them to try anything new is good, even if it's not normally deemed healthy - chicken nuggets, chocolate buttons and quavers were all things she suggested, to persuade DD that eating anything was worthwhile.
