My baby girl will be 7th month on 10th. I have tried feeding her purees but it seems she isn’t interested in solids at all. She doesnt open her mouth if I take the spoon near her mouth. I have to force feed her at times so she gets use too with the food. I have tried fruits puree and vegetable purees but nothing works. Anyone going through the same phase? Any suggestions on how to get her interested in eating solids

My girl wasn’t interested initially. I ditched purees and spoon and started giving bananas and avocados in this food feeder. Now she eats mashed bananas and avocados with some milk using a spoon. I try new food using this feeder and if she likes the taste I feed her using a spoon next time. Hope this helps.

She may not be ready. There surely isn’t a need to force feed her. Try putting a few things Infront of her- check solid starts for how to cut foods that she can grab and eat herself. But if she isn’t bringing things to her mouth on her own she may just not be ready yet.

Initially my little guy only liked banana puree as well as oats mixed with breast milk (fresh not frozen). I also made sure he was hungry before attempting to feed him. For the first couple of weeks I sat him in my lap for all feeding attempts instead of the high chair, this really helped. Good luck mama!!

We’re kind of going through the same. We’re doing baby led weaning and using solid starts for prep knowledge etc. Baby is more interested in playing with the food vs eating it. I’ve taking banana and avocado to her mouth for her, she will open and bite off a piece but gives a face and doesn’t bring it to her mouth on her own yet. 7 months on Friday

what feeders do you use?

ty! :)
