Issues with Solids

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
My DD turned 6 months today and we've tried various solids in the last month.  However she seems to hate all of them.  I can't get her to take more than a few bites and most of it ends up on her face anyway.  Anyone have tips on how to get her to eat a little more?

    I really only give DD a few bites anyways. I wouldn't force food, they're still young enough that it's not meant to be a huge part of their diet anyways! 

    DD probably eats about 2 ounces of solids a day.

    DS is the same way. We started after he turned 6 months and he doesn't like anything we try to give him. I'm not pushing it though. He'll get there someday.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep offering few days. They eat solids when they are ready.

    My LO has days where he loves them, days where he hates them and refuses them. I did find however, he eats far more when he plays with them and they are in their original form - not pureed. If I let him play with peas and show him how I eat them and chew them, he's willing to imitate me and eat a bunch of them. If I try to force them pureed he'll have nothing to do with it. With the purees, however; if I allow him to feed himself with the spoon (very very messy) he will eat a good majority of it. I wouldn't force it though. 6 months is still very young and she should still get the majority of what she needs from formula or breast milk.
    Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
    Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
    March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
    Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!
