Baby will not take from a spoon

[usernoidea]

Hi
How long should I persevere with weaning baby by a spoon?!
Will take if I squeeze a pouch into his mouth but will just clamp his lips shut and self combust if I try with a spoon!
He won't put anything edible in his mouth from his hand but does put everything else in there!
He's 6.5 months.
Thanks x

BREAKTHROUGH TONIGHT! Fucking woooooohhhhioooooo! He's taken at least 10 spoonfuls after a few days off
Let's hope we are turning a corner......!
