It could be that she doesn’t like the food, or she is just playing. Be patient mummy! Starting them on solids is like having a human discover their favorites and least favs over and over again. And for now, it could be that she’s seeing it as play, rather than mealtime. Would be good that she joins you at the table at mealtimes, and they learn by imitation :)

Try with a more runny food, for example apple puree. You can add in a bit of breast milk / formula milk to make it even more runny so it's easier for baby to swallow. If she still can't swallow yet that's fine too, she might just be not ready. You can't really teach a baby to swallow just be patient and try again many times

Hey, Your baby is still in the process of learning how to swallow food. So I would suggest keep trying. You can also try giving different flavours of solid foods (example, various purees etc.). This will also help in changing the taste buds of the baby and she will try more to swallow

Usually baby if doesn't like the food or not yet ready to eat solid will tend to spit it out. I gave my baby eat certain fruits and vegetables pureed food at 4 months and not once she spit it out, whenever she sees the spoon she will open her mouth 😅

They need time to learn. Perhaps your baby is still not ready for solid. Mimic the action.

Maybe she is not yet ready. Can try again after few days.

What solids are you giving your baby?

Give her runny food. Puree

try more watery at first
