My 1 year old started eating solids since 6 months old and he enjoyed it, but he is still teething and has sore and red gums, and he recently doesn't want to eat any solid food. He does drink his milk. Will he be getting enough nutrients from milk alone? Should I wait till his gums get better before I give him solids again?

You can try to feed softer food like puree, porridge or soup instead. On top of that, ensure the food is not too hot so that it doesn't aggravate the pain. Giving something chilled or cold will also help soothe their painful gums. If alls fail, you can try baby teething gel like dentinox, it will help numb their gums, and you can quickly feed them before it starts to hurt again.
