You shouldnt be feeding baby food at all. Repashy Crested Gecko Diet (CGD) is the best thing for him. Crickets are good for him too once a week, or every other week.
Do you have pictures of him, and his set up? Can you tell us anything about what the temperatures are like in his enclosure?

How do you get your crestie to eat meal worms? Mine wont touch them at all. Only crested diet and crickets.

Regardless, I wouldn't worry toooo much, mine will go on strike for a few days now and then too. As long as it doesn't go on too long he'll be fine.

Before a special developed diet was made for cresteds, baby food was given. The specialty diet is far more superior in that it is balanced and contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals that a crested gecko requires for optimal health.

well you can dip your finger in his baby food and put some on his nose. Then he'll lick it off.

I keep and breed cresteds and I feed them baby food also. There is nothing wrong w/ that as long as your putting the calcium and offering other food like crickets. I wouldnt worry too much, mine go off feeding too sometimes. How long has it been since your crested ate?
