Struggling with my 9 month old not wanting to eat

My 9 month old baby just doesn’t seem interested in eating proper meals. I’ve been offering her different purees like pumpkin, broccoli, carrot, and potato, but she only takes 2-3 bites before shutting her lips tight. I’ve also tried offering her porridge, she doesn’t seem interested too.. Interestingly, when I offer her biscuits, she eats them without a problem. Because of this, I’ve stopped offering her meals recently since it feels like such a waste of time with all the prep and cleanup. Is it okay that I’ve stopped offering her meals for now? Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi! My daughter was the same, but gradually, after 12 months, she started showing more interest in food. We made sure she had her milk afterward to keep her satisfied. We consistently offered her food and used a combination of BLW and spoon-feeding. Now, at 15 months, she always asks for food and can even eat independently. There are still some days when she doesn’t eat much, but we just follow her cues. You’re doing an amazing job, mummy!
