LO will be 6 months on Sunday, and we've had a bit of a journey already with solids. She started rice cereal at 4 months and LOVED it, but then we stopped around 5 months because of constipation issues.
We've been trying sweet potatoes, carrots and banana over the last few weeks, and she wants nothing to do with them. She gets the most disgusted look on her face, and just holds it in her mouth.
Anyone's LOs totally against solids? What did you do?

We moved from purees to chunkier foods really soon after we started. LO just preferred more texture.

It took LO a while to decide that she liked food other than milk. The good thing is, it's not necessary at this age, so it's not a big deal if she doesn't really eat them.

It took a while before C decided he liked purees. Now he will eat absolutely anything! Just keep trying, and she will get there

She may just need more time. DD's interest was hit or miss until she was almost 8 months, when she seemed to actually enjoy trying things and her system seemed to sort out digestion (mostly ending our own constipation struggles).

My baby hated all food, especially that which came in a spoon, for MONTHS. I kept offering, sometimes skipping a few days, and just trying not to stress. We pretty much did BLW by necessity. Just laid it out on the tray and let her do what she wanted. Around 9 months she expressed a little more interest in food but honestly I can't say she became anything resembling a "good eater" until maybe 14 months or so.

DS loved oatmeal, but is hit and miss with purees. He LOVES carrots (he'll eat two tubs in one sitting if you let him!) and hates all fruits. I'm talking full on body shudders with the most sour face you've ever seen when he eats fruits, especially bananas. DS absolutely despises bananas. lol
