Feeding and weaning.
I’m trying purées but my LO isn’t really understanding it. She opens her mouth then refuses to. Spits it all out but hasn’t understood you need to swallow the food. Any tips.

She doesn’t need to be swallowing at the stage. It’s all just a learning experience. Let her play with the spoon, let her dip her hands into the puree (if she wants to) and keep offering as you are.
I let my baby suck on the spoon. That helps him swallow instead of just spitting it all out. You want a really soft rubber spoon x

It’s a reflex where they push food out of their mouth until they’re ready. She’ll get there, food at this age isn’t for calories but for the experience.
