Weaning
Have you guys started yet?
I started 3 days ago on the day he was 6 months but he just seems to be pushing the food out his mouth/ it’s not really going in because his tongue is pushing it before it goes in. Maybe he’s not ready yet?
He grabs the broccoli/ butternut squash/ carrot pieces and tries to put them to his mouth (when he does get it in he just spits it back out.) Same with puree (I’ve tried broccoli, carrot, butternut squash and peas so far) should I keep trying daily or maybe wait a week and see if he is more ready then ?

If he still has the tongue thrust reflex (he pushes out with his tongue anything put into his mouth) he’s not quite ready yet. You can give him finger foods like you’ve been doing to play with and he’ll get there at his own pace x

It’s completely normal. Baby is just exploring, they’re not going to eat perfectly the first time round :) my little boy has been weaning since 4.5 months and he still pushes food away etc. You have to think about the fact that a lot of this is different texture to what they are used to and different taste too :)
