Any mommy experience before that little ones rejecting solid food? I started to give solid to my baby, she is now 7th month old. I tried vegie puree, potato puree, sweet potato, etc and tried rice cereal but she seems like rejecting all of them. She will show no interest to eat. In turn when I latch or bottle feed her, she'll show me that she's hungry. Do I stop feeding her solid or keep trying even she doesn't really like it?

when I attended weaning classes, it was noted that we should start feeding solid Not later than wk 26 as they may reject n not learn now to eat. Initially my LO showed no interest in solid n will always give me the disgusted look when I give it to him. My first food for my LO is carrot. I gave it to him in both puree n BLW. It took him more than 1 wk to accept it (I give Everyday until he accepts ) When I follow the instructions on the packaging to prepare the baby cereal, n try to feed him that with a spoon he burst out crying. Ended up, problem lies in that he finds it too watery n got frustrated with it. When I pour the watery cereal into his bottle, he finished everything.( moreover I did not add in any form of milk, only used water) the next day when I prep the cereal, I made it to a thicker consistency (very lumpy) n he loves it ( he was only 6 mth old then ) Since ur LO is already 7 mth, is there a chance that ur puree is too watery for her? N she is looking for something thicker? Another thing is my LO who is 7 mth old will show eagerness to eat when we are eating, if we are not eating but purely feeding him, he will not be interested. Ended up sometimes I need to eat his food together with him so that he will eat
