Is my son eating enough?

Hi, I have a one year old and I am very nervous because he doesn't eat regularly. He will eat breakfast. And then the rest of the day he will only pick at fruit or wheat crackers.! He won't eat meals. I've tried a variety of different table foods, chicken, rice, grilled cheese, macaroni, green beans and he will chew it and spit it out. He is already small for his size and I'm worried that the fact that he won't eat like other babies his age do he will stay small. I started feeding him baby oatmeal 2x a day breakfast and dinner but I don't want to do anything that will impede his growth. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Continue him with formula and start feeding him off of your plate make it a game a bite for mommy a bit for baby. There is nothing wrong with grazing at this age so just make sure there is always healthy snacks out for him to eat. Use finger foods with him so he can do it himself
