Yes I would try to feed it baby food, but don't force feed it. Just get a dropper and put dabs of it on the sides of it's mouth. Force feeding can stress the leo out and you could even hurt it.

Why don't you give use your set up info
temp, substrate, size, etc
and the geckos info
age, how long you've had it, what its regular food was before it stopped eating, is it going to the bathroom regularily, etc?

Then maybe someone can help you more accurately pinpoint what's wrong.

good luck
