My LO is 6 mths and a week old. We have tried giving her carrot puree and baby porridge for 6 mths but she cried and refused to eat. She cries as soon as we put the spoon near her mouth. Is she not ready for solids yet?

She may be not ready for solids yet but babies change everyday so don't give up keep trying. But pls don't make it too stressful for baby to have solids or force her to eat. It may end up making her scared of meals. If she takes only one or two mouthful and start crying so be it. You can perhaps try to eat in front of her to stimulate her interest in eating too? What I did before I fed my gal her first solids is to feed her with water/milk using spoon to get her used to it first
