Baby Food

Does anyone else’s 6-7 month old baby absolutely hate baby food? My LO is definitely interested in our food but when I try to give her purees or solids (that are safe for her) she has no interest and will even gag… I never thought a baby could gag so dramatically you would think I was feeding her horrific food. She does it with fruit even which I thought would be more enticing. I know food is just experimental at this point not about nutrition but honestly didn’t think she would hate it this much. Guess just want to know I’m not alone and if you have or are experiencing this did you do anything to help baby like food?

Mine was the same it was so painful. He’s now 10 months and mainly prefers purees to finger foods but will still persist! You will get there just keep trying x

So gagging is actually totally normal and is a good thing! It’s a defense mechanism against choking. It doesn’t mean they don’t like the food. Neither do all their funny faces lol. Certain foods cause more gagging than others because of the texture though. The Solid Starts app is great for lots of helpful info.

Maybe just give her your food ? We did purées for about a week and then just did BLW so baby had what we had and has absolutely loved food since
