Did your LO still have a little bit of the tongue reflex when you started solids?

I know I've been posting all day with questions about solids and now I'm even wondering if I should stop and wait a couple more weeks.  DD doesn't like the rice cereal, so I thought I might move on to pears or avocado or something.  But when I tried the cereal the last few days she still has a little bit of that tongue reflex where she pushes it out of her mouth.  She doesn't push it all out of her mouth though.  I thought she was ready because she was showing some other signs, but now I don't know.  what do you think?  Did your LO still have a little bit of that reflex when you started them on solids?

We just started introducing DS solids to see if he was ready and he does not have that extrusion reflex anymore.  We're still not feeding him solids regularly until 6 months though.  Maybe your LO isn't quite ready yet.  I would wait a couple weeks and try again later.  No harm in waiting

If you don't think she likes the rice cereal, try some oatmeal.  Then move to the veggies and fruit.

DD still would push some out with her tounge.  She still does.  I think that is normal baby eating though.
