Hi all,
My 6 month old LO won't take any solids. We were advised to start her on solids now that she's reached 6 months, but everything we give her makes her gag or grimace. We've tried:
- baby rice
- carrot puree
- sweet potato puree
- banana
- apple puree
- Cow & Gate lamb/carrot baby food
She also HATES Calpol and any teething gel we've given.
We're slightly worried about her progress as our health visitor seemed to make it sound like she needs to urgently get onto solids and 'expects to see her eating solids within a few months' from now.
Any ideas? Perhaps she's just not ready? Should we give her more lumpy food and let her lead the way (as opposed to us feeding her with a spoon)?
Thanks.
