Has anyone started introducing solids yet? My LB is 6 months tomorrow and we started him with broccoli over the weekend and tried carrot today. It didn't go down very well.

I feel like I'm completely failing with weaning! He's got very little interest in food (just over 7 months). He'll spit most foods out and won't really let me feed him.

My LG is 5 months old and has been VERY interested in food for about a month. I gave her a little taste of mushy banana today and it went well. Video for example. Do you think its okay to continue introducing foods now or just wait until 6 months?
