Can try steaming apple then offering to baby in long thick slices. I started with rice cereal as first food but she hates it. Loves banana, hates apple hates purées. Slice half a banana, slice off a portion of the skin on top and leave the bottom of the skin on for easy grip.
let ur baby feel the texture of the food. she might be interested. follow @solidstarts on ig for safe blw tips.
What kinds of purée do you give your LO? Have you tried sweet potatoes or pumpkins?
