My baby is currently 6mo. Hesitating to start soild food as he is having cough and a lot of phlegm. Starting to lose interest in milk as well. Afraid if start soild food will course him to have more phlegm. Can advise what should i do?? TIA!

Hi mummy, I encountered the same issue when I wanted to start solids but my baby wasn't feeling well at 6months old. I delayed feeding him solids for fear that he will choke n gag. As well as irritate his throat to cough even more. I want him to enjoy the process of trying solid, I was worried that if he choke on solids he might be fearful of eating. It's perfectly fine to delay a week or two when introducing solids, nothing worrying about it. As you mentioned that your baby started losing interest in milk, it might be due to his coughing and he is not feeling too well to drink milk. Hope he will get well soon :)
