hi Priyanka singh ! first and foremost avoid force feeding him as that would make him further averse to food and have negative association to it. instead involve him in story telling ,or show him picture book or let him stack blocks or rings .keep him occupied ansd feed him alongside.. also give him some food which he can feed himself. in other words try and make meal time fun time and connect better with him. hope this helps!
