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?

Give her sometime. She may not be ready and thats okay. Let her explore at her own pace. Meanwhile have you tried other food? If yes and you get the same reaction i suggest for yiu to stop a while. Try again a few days later.
