feeding problem

Hi all, can i ask if anyone have the same issue as me? My baby is 6 months old now and we have started solids with her. However, she shows no interests in solid. Because feeding her milk is a problem also, the constant not wanting to open her mouth and crying is not helping either. Help!

Don't feel pressured into introducing solids just because LO turned 6 months old! It could be the simplest of reason that she's just not ready yet. Here are some things you should look at to see whether she's ready: 1) Able to sit unsupported by herself 2) Shows eagerness in food (eg. going after you when you're eating, making "mummum" movements with her mouth etc) 3) Hunger cues between milk feeds like sucking her thumb, biting/chewing on objects, being irritated for no reason etc. Just remember that milk is the main source of nutrients for LO until she's 1 years old, so before that, any form of solids are just "for fun" in a way - there's no need to rush into things :)
