Feeding

Chicajacks24

My baby is 6 months old, and we have started to introduce solids for almost a week now. It seemed like he was getting used to it, but now he is actively opposed. I know he is going to resist new things at first, and it is going to take time. Does anyone have any tips or tricks that worked for you? When did you try in relation to their last nursing/bottle feeding? I try about an hour after I nurse. Any suggestions are welcome!

Sometimes they are just not ready. Keep offering but you don't want to force it. When ready, he will eat. Does he sit and watch you eat? This is how we determined our little guy was ready as he really started watching us eat. If you are making your own food, it may be the texture (we had issues with this and thought it was the particular food).

Yeah, I try every day for a few minutes. He has been watching us eat for awhile now. He even moves his mouth like he's chewing. I am using commercial baby food.

Keep trying! I thought my LO didn't like solids but it turns out she loves them but she is particular about the ones she eats. (hates peas, pears and peaches but loves carrots and sweet potatoes)
