I wasn't sure what to title this post but it is about feeding your infant solids and how they pick and choose what to eat. If they have a few different items on the plate at once maybe they will only eat one of the items on his/her plate. What I have found to work for this type of situation is to feed the baby in courses. Like if maybe you are feeding them broccoli, pasta and strawberries. I found if you give it to baby all at once they may just eat one of the foods and then start playing with the rest. Start with the veggies not a huge portion but a portion, then move on to the starch and then the desert. If they want more of one thing offer a little choice after they finish a round. This is a good way to get variety. I have really found this to work in some instances. They grow out of it but if you find you need to try something it does seem to work.
