It's ok if you delay the food weaning stage. At his age, food is an 'experiment' for him. To discover the taste and texture, and skills related to eating (chewing, spitting, use hand etc). Baby below 1 y/o main food is milk, the other food is supplementary. After 1 y/o, it's the other way around. Since your baby is not well, keep nursing him and start the food weaning when his condition is better and comfortable for him.
