Tounge thrust and not mouthing

[Carmel25]

Im starting to panic. My little one is nearly 7 months old and developmentaly hitting all other milestones. She smiles, laughs, babbles, can sit up with a tiny bit of help, puts weight on her legs, rolls and picks up toys and moves them between her hands... my worry Is that she has never put anything in her mouth other than her fingers. She inspects things with her hands rather than her mouth which is the complete opposite to what her brother was like.
Ive also started to try and wean her but she still has tongue thrust and everything just gets pushed out and scraped on her top lip. BLW isn't an option as she won't actively put anything in her mouth.
I've got a referral to ENT to check for tongue tie but are some babies just simply not interested in mouthing?

It’s really good that you have a referral. It possibly could be TT.

My baby does the same he’s 8 months Monday and doesn’t chew at all so baby lead weaning can be quite hard.

if it helps, my health visitor has recommended more thicker / lumpier purées and very soft things to wean. We started the beginning of this week and he’s slowly starting to get there with chewing.

I hope this helps you.

I've also been trying the melty sticks and puffs you can get and we’re slowly getting there.

How are things now @Carmel25?

Everything is great now. Turns out shes just a funny little thing and wasn't interested in putting anything in her mouth. It took till she turned 9 months to eat puree off a teether. She slowly accepted a spoon after a while. She now eats almost anything. Still isn't really interested in putting toys in her mouth
which im happy about now. Im annoyed with myself for being so stressed over it all and ruining a few months with worry

She did have tongue tie but even after that was cut it didnt really make a difference. Think she just needed time to realise food is amazing. Speech and Language therapist suggested Nutella on a teether to get her interested and it all went up from there
