8.5 month old gone off solids

My little one has been good with solids since he started at 6 months. We've been doing a mix of purees and finger food since the beginning and he's usually given everything a good try. The last week or so he's been really fussy sometimes refusing whole meals. Has anyone else had this and got any advice?
