What solids are you giving your baby?

I think not all babies are ready for this style of baby led weaning at this age. Some may be more suited for traditional feeding with purees first. It’s common to start with cerelac, but I know my LO hated it, and only enjoyed fruit/vegetable puree (apple, carrot, pear, prune) at the beginning. Maybe you can try these first?:)Once baby enjoys one of these foods, then you can start introducing new ones, and gradually make the food chunkier.
