We introduced solids to DS (6.5 months) about a month ago, but he still will not eat anything. We started with purees and oatmeal, and he seemed to have some tongue thrust reflex still, because he just spit everything out every time. He also gags almost anytime we put food in his mouth. After a few weeks, he started refusing to eat at all (clamping mouth closed, turning away).

We took a break for about a week and started up again with baby led weaning, thinking he would do better if he set his own pace. Now he just ignores the food, or bangs it on the table. He never tries to put it in his mouth. We've tried giving him a mesh feeder, or putting food on our fingers or his, but that hasn't worked either.

I know it's pretty early but since we've already been trying for a month, I am starting to get stressed out. We didn't have issues with DD so this is new to me.

Has anyone gone through this? Tips?
