Baby don't like food help!

So my LO is now 6 months and started to give porridge but she won't open her mouth to take the food. She don't like the taste so tried mashed banana and still the same reaction. She acta as if she don't know its food and spits it out. How can we go past this?

She is not acting like she doesn’t know food. She literally doesn’t know what food is. Don’t stress, give her food to play with and don’t try to put it in her mouth. Let her get ther herself. Is she showing all signs of readiness to start food? Zero stress hun, bm or formula will still be the main source of nutrition until 1.

It took 5 days before my baby started to like food. He’s almost 8 months now and will eat everything.

Listen to the baby lead weaning podcast. That will help you get started

I know she just looks at us eating and drools so much and can sit upright with some support too. She's been so hungry now and milk don't keep her full long enough either.

She’s going not 6 months and is still figuring food out. Just keep persevering and offering different flavours and textures and give it a few months and she’ll start to enjoy it

My baby hated solids and purees in the beginning too and we started at 6 months! Just hang in there and keep offering food daily. The biggest thing is exposure and they’ll eventually find a food they like or enjoy. Now my LO is almost 8 months and eats everything we give her

Just offer pre loaded baby spoons and let her play with it.

My baby didn’t take solids more than a teaspoon or less until she was 12 months. Now looking back. It’s normal for them not to eat much and especially at 6 months
