Fussy eater HELP

Bea

There is very little my 8 month old will eat without having a melt down. he will eat pureed chicken mixed with mash and veg, he will sometimes eat scrambled egg and baby puff crisps. Any thing else he either completely refuses more than one mouthful or he will eat while having a melt down. I want to make meal time a positive time but at the moment I feel like I'm trying to get him to try new foods and it's a battle ground. He won't really eat if it's given to him like baby led or on a spoon unless it's chicken and potato. What do I do? How can I encourage him to like other food?
