To me, I would wait. It looks like baby still has the tongue thrust reflex. But great neck control so it won't be long.

It’s a new skill, keep trying but don’t force ❤️

Personally I would say that is very thick to be doing first taste with. You ideally want something very wet like purèd Carrot, Pear, Apple, banna etc something which she can taste on tip of her tongue then increase the thickness .

It doesn't seem to me as a refusal which wojld be a sign of not being ready but a texture she is only use to fluids so start basic then increase thickness

I would disagree! Texture has nothing to do with being ready. Moms like me who did BLW and skipped the entire spoon-fed stage can attest. When a baby pushes food from the mouth means the baby isn't ready. Swallowing is a natural reflex when the baby is ready. Accepting food shows interest. They have zero idea about texture at this point. Having a wet/liquid texture mimics milk which serves zero purpose.

I'm not an expert. I just wanted to share another opinion.
