Hello there. My second dd is so different to my first who grabbed food and ate it herself at 6 months, I did baby-led weaning that worked well for us. My second dd is now 7 and a half months old and she won't even mouth toys let alone food so I have tried to spoon food in. She will take baby porridge but not much else. I really want to do baby-led weaning so can I wait until she shows signs of mouthing objects (delay solids)? Should I be concerned that she isn't mouthing objects? Anyone with a similar experience? Thanks.

Hello, can I ask how your little one is now and how the feeding progressed? My now 10 month DS won’t put anything into his own mouth, toys, bottle, beaker, toys, nothing. He will only take food from A spoon and struggles with lumps. He had severe reflux as a baby. Please tell me this just clicks and they just start doing it!!
