As baby grows, so should the number of different foods being offered. If he fusses when given a particular food for the first time, leave it for a while and continue with foods that have already been accepted. But, do keep trying new foods at frequent intervals.
Young babies don't get bored eating the same things repeatedly because they have no prior knowledge about different flavours or textures. This is also true of salt, the taste for salt is acquired. Although you might think the food tastes bland, your baby will not think this and you should not add any salt to food that you prepare for babies under 12 months, excessive sodium has the potential to damage immature kidneys.
Sugar should also be used sparingly, for the sake of your baby's health, you don't want to encourage a 'sweet tooth'.
