What I meant by 'put him off food' was scaring him into not eating. If you constantly try to feed a non-feeding baby (like trying to feed them every day or even every other day) it can very easily frighten them into not eating at all.
When you do feed him next, put him in a small container (a plastic sandwich container with air holes in it works well, or a deli cup if you can find one) with a very very warm pinky, put him in a dark place (somewhere warm), and don't disturb him for at least an hour. No peeking!! If, after the hour (or more) he hasn't eaten, warm the pinky back up and leave him with it (in the container) overnight.
