Not interested in food @ 7 months?

Not Jackson, my niece.  So Jackson was a great solid food eater right off the bat. My niece, on the other hand is not interested what-so-ever.  My SIL has tried different foods (vegetables, fruit & even puffs) and she wants nothing to do with it.

Is this normal?  Should she just wait? Anyway to get her interested? Thoughts? Suggestions? Special snowflake?

    Cam did that at 7mo but only with purees... she wanted nothing to do with them.. when i took "real" food and chopped it up into tiny pieces or ran it through the food mill she would eat it! She wanted the texture i guess...

    My DD was not interest in solids until 9 months old. She was BFed and it was never a problem. My DS was the same until 15 months old. Neither one is a picky eater in any way and both are healthy and very smart so nutrition was never a worry.

    Ditto to pp - totally fine. Some babies don't love it right off the bat. That's also still a young digestive system, so I wouldn't worry. Emmeline couldn't have bananas or sweet potatoes before she was a year because it bound her up. Now she eats them like a champ - so I'd just be patient and let her lead the way. Try new stuff here and there (Emmeline loved texture of steel cut oatmeal), but with a relaxed state of mind - if she likes it, great..if not, no big deal.

    Totally fine.  Like someone suggested, she might juts try with some real foods instead of pureed baby foods.   Black beans are easy to pick up and smushy to eat.
