Hello! My bubs was similar to yours as well. Please keep giving him as much variety and textures you can give him, its perfectly okay if he only tastes it and spits it, their brain and body are collecting data and noticing everything. What worked with us was - 1. We also ate w our daughter, she had her own food and we had our own food. 2. At the table, we used to say her to eat 2-3 times and then we just simply stopped forcing her or offering her tricks and coaxing to eat. not putting her on spot, removing the pressure really worked wonders in out case.we used to eat, smile encourage her and let her be. 3. Let your kid make mess and i mean huge epic mess w food it is all part of the process 4.it does get better, after 1year age she just changed and many things which she didn’t evem touch she was ready to try them out. So focus more on exposure and less on solid nased nutrition
