Probably: Maybe it is a texture issue or he has an issue with the consistency with what you are feeding him or a food allergy. Or maybe he just isn't ready to advance just yet. Consider seeing a dietitian or an allergist for testing if you are concerned.

Yes: "baby foods" are complimentary and are not essential. Egg yolk, soft meat, and non-spicy table foods can be given.
