he used to eat fruits,vegetables and semolina with relish. now suddenly he eats any fruit,vegetables,chicken mixed with rice only. i tried giving brown rice but that he ate at one meal then refused on other day. if i don't give him he keeps on munching at cucumber or banana but will not eat anything. i am still feeding him.
he only eats beetroot without rice. that he loves specially mixed with broken wheat. but there is a limit in eating beetroot too :) he is 9 months old. do babies have a set back? he has stopped eating textures and only loves to eat completely mashed food.

It sounds like your son eats a great diet! I've always found that mine go on and off mashed food/finger food at that age. It may be that he has sore gums from teething so is finding mashed food easier at the moment. One of my children around that age was obsessed with porridge and would eat it every meal given the chance, it was just a phase and didn't last long. I've always been happy to give my children white rice. I always give multigrain bread but aren't too concerned about brown rice as none of them have been that keen on it. I'd much prefer that they were eating veg mixed with white rice than ending up eating nothing if I mix it with brown. Save your worrying for if he one day decides that he'll only eat chicken nuggets ;)

Don't fret. Just feed him what he likes. As long as he's eating, anything is fine, especially since he's under a year old. Does he have teeth? You should mash it until he can chew.
