I hope you can help. My DD is 6 months old and I have been weaning for 1 week. She has shown no interest in food and has closed her mouth to all that I have offered so far (baby rice, sweet potato, puréed pear, pitta stick, cucumber stick, toast, Hipp banana /yoghurt/ baby rice).
I was advised to make the consistency thinner to encourage her to taste things (puréed sweet potato with breast milk, 4+ plus Hipp jar, baby rice). I have put a tiny amount on the front of her tongue and she has gagged and been sick (contents of her stomach) 5 days in a row. Today I put a little on my finger and rubbed it on her lips. She was sick in her cot when she woke from a nap 2 hours later.
The health visitor advised to continue but everything suggests she's not ready. She's my second child and entirely breast fed.
Thank you for reading!
