Wean him off breast milk gradually,
A good starter to solids is good old amala and ewedu( green) it never fails.

If you don't have tribal issues please give try amala and ewedu.

Used it for both my sons.

kollinpowel:
do you had baby milk to the pap cos my daughter take only pap if you add milk you are on ur own or try to get some baby milk that close to breast milk and add it to the pap.she should take it once she perceive the breast milk in it.

Nutase:
You guys started late. Your first attempt at introducing him to cereals and pap should have been at 6 months.

You have to keep trying until he breaks otherwise your wife won't be able to cope.

Cornido:

The thing is this.... If you give him a taste of whatever we are eating, he accepts it readily and even comes for more, be it beans, semi, soup, bread, rice etc but he doesn't take enough of it for it to be a meal for him

Pls experienced parents in the house especially Mums, my baby is 9 months old. We just introduced him to cereals but the trouble is he refuses to eat it. We have tried Pap, that one is even worse.
I have to pin his hands and legs, while the Mum tries to force his mouth open just to get a spoonful into his mouth, that is if she can get past the teeth that he won't open. And after all these, he will not swallow, he will just spit everything out and we are back to square one. And the way he cries.........damn
We tried closing his nostrils and mouth to force him to swallow, hmmm, I will never try it again. Continuing only on breast milk is no longer an option cos it doesn't fill him anymore. Pls suggestions

While i don't advocate force feeding, you sir or maam are the one behaving like an illiterate. You obviously have no experience with kids. There are kids that have refused to eat and ended up in the hospital. The theory that they will eat when hungry is false. There are some kids with psychological/neurological issues that are picky with what they want and would rather starve to death. The only thing you can scold the OP for is force feeding. Every other thing is wrong. OP is right to be worried and all they need do is find ways of getting the child to eat. Insinuating a child will eventually eat when hunger wires the child is an ILLITERATE assertion.

Teething problem. Go and buy teething syrup.

profmallor:

A lot of grown ups today were force fed at least once in their childhood years, especially those that grew up in privileged homes, because not eating is a rich man's child's issue. A lot of the parents then were equally strangely very educated. I think the act is bore out of desperation. And besides all your points, a lot of children from privileged homes would still not eat after your 3 points, they see food as a distraction from fun - wont blame them cause they have being pampered silly with options.

keenn:

why not calm down.

alot of us were fed that way, perhaps u inclusive. though wrong but u are far too exaggerating the action the OP made.

Cornido:

Not teething problem, been using teething powder for some months now, at 9 months, he has 6 teeth
