When I put a lot on the plate, my baby won't start eating; with just a little, he eats. Does serving small amounts work with picky eaters?

You're making a good observation. Serving small amounts usually works with picky eaters because a large portion can make a baby feel "I could never finish this," killing motivation. A small portion gives him confidence—"I can finish this." Plus when he finishes, he gets an "all done" feeling, which builds a positive connection to eating. After he finishes, you can add a bit more if he wants; this keeps control with you while letting your baby follow his own fullness signals.
