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?

Totally fine. Food is needed yes, but when we are sick ourselves we have no apetite which is similar for babies. Also as long as he is drinking and hydrated there is no need to worry about it.
