How did your baby react to solids at first? How long did it take for them to enjoy food? Any tips to help with the transition?

BLW

Iā€™ve tried looking at a couple videos but theyā€™re all pretty different, how would you serve spaghetti to your 6 month old?? Or should I not..? Heā€™s 6m and we donā€™t do BLW everyday so Iā€™m just curious if itā€™s a good idea or not, or if I should just give something else.
