Weaning problems

Baby has been weaning 3 weeks now. Issue is she never actually has anything. She’s is just not talking to weaning. Spoon feeding, she sticks her tongue out so much pushed the spoon out. If I do manage to get it in, she vomits it all out. Purées are vey smooth. Tried baby led weaning and she won’t take to that either, just throws it or if I get it to her mouth, same thing of pushing it out. Any advice? I’m at my wits end, I’ve tired breakfast and lunch and nothing goes in!

She probably just isn’t ready. It sounds like her tongue push out reflex is still too strong. I would continue with the blw weaning and let her explore it etc

Sounds like they aren’t ready. I would stop for a couple weeks and then try again. It’s okay if they aren’t ready. My first wasn’t ready until about 7.5 months.

Mine doesn’t take anything either. I just do it to get her used to it. I was telling one of my friends today when she asked how is weaning - my carpet will soon grow muscles and glow for the amount of food and fruits go on it 🤦‍♀️

I found the evening meal is the best time to get my LB to try some. Maybe try the evening rather than the morning. My LB still isn’t a massive fan of breakfast and he’s nearly 7 months.

Tongue thrust reflex is babies is normal in babies and usually goes away around 6 months and is one of the signs of readiness. So if they are still reflexively thrusting everything out with their tongue they might just not be ready yet. 🙂

Try thicker or lumpy purees. My little boy just spits out puree that is too runny (same with water mostly) but he loves a thick porridge, don't even have to wipe his face after because there's no messing around 😂
