I don’t know if this is helpful but my lo is mega interested in anything we eat so I just give her s little taste with my hands when out and about etc she will eat anything out of my hands is it worth a try?
Keep trying, that's the only real advice. Itl come one day. If in doubt talk to your HV. I think I read something like if they reach 9 months it becomes and initial concern. My daughter is 7m on Monday coming and is only just accepting purees almost a month on if that reassures you at all x
Let them feed themself. They barely eat anything but will taste what they want. Then they don’t get a negative association with feeling forced to eat

I haven't got any advice, but to just keep offering and doing what you're doing. "Food before 1 is just for fun" Some babies pick it up sooner than others. If it helps, my daughter will be 7 months next week and we're in the same boat as you. Stopped trying with spoons and just offering the puree/mashed food in a bowl and soft finger food. She's just enjoying playing with it, brings it to her mouth in a fist but doesn't eat it. It's stressful for sure, I keep telling myself not to worry too!
