Throwing up after food

My little girl is 6 months and I've started to wean but 9/10 times she's sick after I give her something l. She's never been a sicky baby even with her bottle. Can anyone give me any tips or advice see if it's something I'm doing or if I can do something different

Is she gagging when she’s sick or is it after she’s actually eaten?

Have you tried any purées do you have the same results ?

@Katherine its a bit of a cough and gag im giving her a pea size amount tonight it was avocado that she was sick on

@Anne I've blended broccoli up made that in to a purée and she chucked that up and I've done raspberries she seems to be better with fruit then veg but I don't want to give her just fruit and have a fussy food baby

She may not be ready yet. Turning 6 months doesn’t always mean they’re good to go. If their gag reflex is still too strong it’ll just lead to a vomit and in turn if you keep pushing on it may lead to a negative association. I’d stop for a week and come back and try again

I would do baby led weaning instead of purees… and start with something like a mango pit, large cooked floret of broccoli… that way she can pick it up and bring it to her mouth herself and they don’t actually eat that much when feeding themselves to start with- it’s more about exploration.. the other thing is if she doesn’t pick the food up and bring it to her mouth she’s either not hungry, or not ready to wean
