11 month old no longer a good eater?

For about a month now my 11 month old is refusing to eat, or eats only a few bites of food. Any suggestions? He used be a good eater, ate whatever baby food I fed him. I have tried new foods, like oatmeal, cream of wheat, spaghetti o's..sometimes he just wont even try.

Update:

i did think it was his teeth too, he got on bottom and the other is poking through. But im sure hes bored too. He has tasted our food and maybe there is no going back now.lol

    all babies stop eating so much at around one. They are self regulating their eating and at that point their growing is slowing down considerably. If he continued to eat as before he would be really fat soon. I mean they more than double their birthweight in the first year, if they kept doing that you would have 80 lbs three year old :)

    Its perfectly normal. Just give him all varieties of food and he'll be just fine and he will go thru growth spurts when he will chow down enormous amounts of food

    why don't you put a couple of tater tots down on the tray and see if he will go for those. He is probably over baby foods or anything runny/mushy. He wants variety mom. Make sure you are only giving him about 4 ounces of formula or if you are weening to whole milk then 4 ounces of that in a cup with some food. My son loves fish sticks. I would give it a try. It could also be his teeth coming in too.

    Maybe he is full from formula and juice

    he probably wants more grownup food, feed him whatever your eating, when your eating it.
