I am not a psychologist by any means and I do not know where and how you do try to feed him. However, my initial reaction to your post was that if it is psychological, radically changing the whole feeding process might help. For example, not doing the traditional get in the high chair it's time to eat. I was thinking Chuck E. Cheese or somewhere that radically changes the whole feeding experience.
Then I saw this online as well: Lumpy foods cause gagging in the same way that smooth foods do when introduced to your baby for the first time.
In other words, your baby hasn't yet learned to deal with lumps and gags in order to stop any food at the back of his tongue from entering his airways. Ideally, he then learns to chew his food into smaller particles, which then prevents the gagging.
For some babies, though, this must seem like too much hard work and they end up refusing the lumpy food altogether.
In this situation, it is VERY important to be calm, relaxed and patient.
In most cases, your baby's aversion to lumpy foods will pass as his feeding abilities develop. But by trying to force your baby to eat lumpy food, or displaying anxiety when he refuses - you can make mealtimes traumatic for your child and greatly increase the problem.
Some parents report that their children become hysterical at the mere sight of their highchair if they know they are going to be made to eat something that they simply don't want.
This is a situation you want to avoid at all costs.
Mealtimes should be fun and something your baby looks forward to - creating a pleasant atmosphere at the dinner table can have a huge impact on the way your child views mealtimes for a long time to come.
