I've really been struggling with feeding DD. Started oatmeal around. 5.5 months & onto fruit purres around 6ish months. She is now almost 7 months. We've tried carrots, avocado, banana , sweet peas & dry cereal ( the baby kind that dissolves).
She pushes everything out & most recently gives raspberries when the spoon touches her lips . I've heard that they aren't ready for solids until the lose their tongue thrust. I looked up how to tell if they have or not & a few people said to just touch their lips & if they stick their tongue out that means they still have it. DD does this... Could she still not be ready for solids at 7mths? I also read eating is important to build up their muscle for speech development & don't want to mess anything up!

Re: tongue thrust?
Vin will barely eat purees but likes to feed himself. He's pretty much forcing me to do BLW lol.

As for tongue thrust- if you put a spoon of baby food into/up to the baby's mouth and they push it out with their tongue instead of in to eat it- they haven't lost the thrust reflex yet.
