my DD had the same problem. It took her ages to actually eat something! She hates being spoon fed but I found good luck with pouches especially fruit ones like pear, banana etc. She loves holding food herself but barely gets any in, so I often put food pieces in her mouth.

Also I had to move when I was feeding her. In the mornings if she breastfeeds first thing she won't eat before her first nap. So I swapped it. She gets breakfast first thing, then breastfeeding before her nap to top her up. Same with dinner. I was serving it too late (6pm is too late for her) and she was too tired/fussy to eat properly. If we feed her at 5 she gobbles stuff down. I do find it takes her some time to warm up to the meal, our meals are like 45 min long!

Normal! we are just over 8 months and she's FINALLY starting to eat a little bit more, but it's been a slow process compared to our oldest. I just made sure to offer it 1-2x a day, and eventually she started to open her mouth and eat more than a bite or two. She loves puffs!

Yep, normal. I was gung-ho about baby-led weaning but my LO was not interested at all. He ended up liking jarred baby food by spoon and pouches but hated homemade purees. He started getting more into food around 10-11 months. I'd suggest you keep trying different kinds of food in different presentations. He'll come around eventually!
