    maybe he's not ready to eat solid food. you don't have to force him just yet. breast milk alone is enough for him until he's a year old, in the meantime, just try different foods till he gets used to it. not so much sugar though, don't want him to get used to sweets.

    You are serving him table foods (self-fed) and not some bland puree? And do NOT add sugar, this only fattens them up and makes them develop a taste for junk food.

    STOP nursing him so much and force him to eat baby foods.

    I raised 3 children, nursed each of them and they all began baby foods at 4-months of age.
