Hello
I have a 6 month old daughter and we started weaning her onto solids this week (she's 27 weeks now). Day one I tried pureed potato and she took a tiny bit then spat it out and cried. Day two it was broccoli and she cried once the spoon touched her lips. Today was carrot which is sweeter but she cried as soon as she saw the spoon and refused to try even a tiny bit.
I've tried to offer when she's not too hungry or full. Appreciate it's only day 3 so I'm not panicking (yet) but does anyone else have a similar story? My friends' babies seem to have taken to food straight away
We even tried feeding in the living room today and on my lap so as to make it comfy but she's not interested. Are some babies just not ready until they're older than the suggested guidelines? She's drinking milk as usual. She can sit up quite well although not great at grabbing and holding things yet as doesn't use her thumbs much.
Any words of wisdom very welcome! X
