I started my 6.5mo boy on solids 2 wks ago but he will clamp his mouth shut whenever the spoon is nearby. He barely finish 1 tablespoon of cereal each time. Any advice??

It's normal mummy.. solid for babies are only for tasting and learning and developing their skills. His primary source of nutrition is still milk. Maybe he is not ready yet. wait and try again.. Good luck

it's normal! they are still try to adapt to solids! don't force it. they will open their mouth once they are ready. Solids before 1 are mainly for fun

Totally normal. You are definitely not the only one. Don't force and try again later. Force feeding might end up making it worst.

It's okay dear it's a new taste and texture. Reintroduce it again a few days later. Most importantly not to be disheartened

it's normal. just keep trying daily but don't force. they will eventually take it. good luck!
