Any mommy experience before that little ones rejecting solid food? I started to give solid to my baby, she is now 7th month old. I tried vegie puree, potato puree, sweet potato, etc and tried rice cereal but she seems like rejecting all of them. She will show no interest to eat. In turn when I latch or bottle feed her, she'll show me that she's hungry. Do I stop feeding her solid or keep trying even she doesn't really like it?

Baby can take 7-15 tries before liking something. Always give milk in a lower quantity before giving food (maybe 30-60min apart) otherwise baby too hungry to enjoy. If baby don't want that day then stop, don't force but be encouraging too. Choosing a good timing when baby is not tired or cranky is important too. Other routines that can help is a high chair (baby should be quite upright) and colorful utensils, give them a spoon to hold too, show them u are eating too and enjoying it, heap lots of praises. Jia you mummy!
