Baby weaning-HELP!

We started weaning a couple of weeks ago but we’re not making any progress. Baby gags and throws up everything. We’ve tried pouches, steaming fresh veg and BLW. He refuses to open mouth and if I manage to get a bit in he gags and spits up. With toast etc, he retches and physically brings up sick. Any advice? We started a week before he was 6 months.

I'd say wait for a little while longer, seems he's telling you he's not ready. Take a break and try again in the new year

Have you played with timings with naps and milk feeds? Mine was doing the same but if I try around 30 minutes after she’s had a feed and she’s not tired then she’s more open to trying things.

I'd say he's not ready yet, I agree with Jenny try again in the new year and when you do instead of trying to do meals times, let him just play with it during play time eventually he'll start exploring by putting it in his mouth

Wait couple weeks and try again, sounds like baby is not ready yet 🙂

This was us! We started a week before 6 Months too, we had refusal to open mouth and had been physically sick a few times. He showed all the signs of readiness- could sit up unaided and interested in food etc I stopped for just over a week and now he's taken to it so well! I'd definitely recommend taking at least a week off and trying again.
