Weaning in general
My baby loves her food but only purées / me spoon feeding her. I gave her a carrot todah to try and taste etc and she just stares at me and throws it etc and has no concept of putting foods in her mouth on her own yet? Is this normal. I can’t BLW as it won’t work😂😂 she is 7 months.

Don't worry you're not alone! My baby is exactly the same. She never puts anything in her mouth, including toys and teethers. She just doesn't seem to explore the world in that way 😅
Would recommend Heinz biscotti finger biscuits as you can hold as they suck on it and then get them to hold it, my LG snatched it right out my hand these days. As for purées maybe try some with a bit of texture on and build on it? my little one loves mushy peas so they worked great xx

I can’t really give much to any ‘advice’ as a such, as I was fortunate that my little one took to BLW really well and shoves anything in her gob🤣 But, I would just continue to offer certain foods in the BLW way (alongside your purées). I know it can be seen as a waste of food if she is going to throw it etc but it’s still about learning the different textures etc, even if it is with her hands. As long as she’s eating then I don’t see an issue!! Continue with your purées if it’s working for you both. One more thought - have you tried sitting with her and eating at the same time? For example, with few pieces of steamed broccoli. If she sees you eating and bringing food to your mouth, she may mirror your actions! I know the moment I put anything to my mouth, my baby is immediately interested and wants some too! Hope that helps x
