Still not interested in solids

My DD is 6 months old now (4 months adjusted since I had her early at 32 weeks). She's drooling lots, biting on everthing and seems to be teething. I tried to givie her solids three times now.  She spit out avocado and didn't seem interested. I tried rice cereal mixed with my breastmilk twice and she ate some of it. When she got real fussy & didn't want it anymore, I went back to giving her a bottle and she took it immediately. She drank all her milk in her bottle.

She's a preemie. Is she ready for solids? Should I stop and try again another time? Do I give solids according to adjusted age or real age? She sure still loves my breastmilk.

    My daughter took a little more time to get on baby food.  It is still a messy process for eating.  We would try a little bit of baby food, and then we would mix the rest of the baby food with her formula in her bottle to give her more nourishmen

    4m adjusted is still young for solids. I'd suggest trying once a week at the most to gauge interest for now but don't expect any until closer to six months adjusted.

    Generally, a baby is not going to be physically ready for solids until 6 months old (adjusted age for a preemie). And, even then, a 6 mo old may not be mentally interested in solids yet.

    There are several signs you need to look for that show you

    don't stress out, she might just not be ready yet. Some babies start early, but many don't start eating until 6 months. Maybe just take a break for a month or two and then try again. This is what happened with my DD and when we went back to feeding solids
