Hey looking for some help,
I am weaning my baby girl the first few days she done so well opening her mouth and eating etc but the past 2 days she isn't interested not opening her mouth and then she does eat some thing she is gagging when she is swallowing she is 6 months and I am using purée as I'm to worried to do baby lead weaning.

Any advice would be great

Try her on something a different flavour maybe try vegetable sticks. Cooked carrots are the same consistency.
Baby lead weaning is about them getting curious about food and playing with it. Chances are they might not eat any of it but they do get to taste, feel, smell it and develop eating skills over time.
The weaning advice I've read states that breastfeeding or bottle feeding still main nutrition just show them food is different and keep reintroducing every now and then until they stick with it.
It also says bauking at food is normal because they've never had it before. Maybe first few feeds didn't register to your baby as needing tasting because milk always tastes same.
(Hopes I'm helping)
