Son refuse to eat

Hi my son is 11 months and is 8 kils. He is a small boy but very developed for his age. He is walking already. The problem is he refuses to eat anything at all. When the spoon gets near his mouth he is not opening. I am very worried as he is so small. Please advise.

drop the spoon , give him finger foods, many children do not like being spoon fed past a certain age , at 11months he can eat some good foods with his fingers..cereals , we have one called cheerio's they love small veg cut up pieces of chicken and rice, fish fingers bite size .beans, peas , fruits ,cut up in small bits ..they like the challenge of being in control then stand back and watch with enjoyment how he will dig in ..and you stay quiet ...
