How does anyone suppose that replacing a more nutrient dense food  with a
series of less nutrient dense foods will improve a child's nutritional
status? 

Like Laurie, I would look at flicking the dummy (pacifier), feeding more
often, possibly using breast compressions and or switch feeding, cosleeping
and offering family foods from mum's plate at family meal times.  If baby
helps herself so be it.  If not offer another breastfeed.

Makes sense to rule out pathologies but it is not unusual to see a seven
month old who is not yet interested in solids.  (Strangely, most of them
have not read the text books that their medical advisers wrote.)  Parents
can't make their kids eat, poo or sleep.  most parents find that every one
is a lot less stressed out when they stop trying.
