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?

Hi, i agree with what the other mamas mentioned above. If baby is able to sit up some what well and can put things in their mouth then they can actually start solids. There will be foods that they like and dislike but keep trying and try you best to be encouraging and smiley so that they can develop positive feelings about solids. Just to add on, you should choose a good timing to feed your LO solids. Not when baby is too hungry or sleepy/cranky, that way, they wont be able to enjoy the meal. So some weaning advises that you feed baby their regular milk in lower quantities and then later give the solids so that they are not too hungry. Jiayou on the weaning journey
