My sun is 7 months now. I'm breastfeeding him but he gives me a hard time when I try to give him solid food. I started the solid food a bit late during the fifth month but I tried almost every kind of food that is suitable for his age in case he doesn't like any of them. He doesn't open his mouth perfectly and he seems as if he is going to through up the food. Please help me.

i don''t know the age when babies have solid food,maybe he isn't ready for it yet,have you tried rusks with a bit of your milk in it?,if he doesn't open his mouth even for you just put a tiny bit of food on his lip and sees if he licks it off,or just putting a tiny bit of food on the spoon and see what happends,also i am sure a baby of his age can't reconise what food he likes or not,hope this helps you a bit

My daughter is 8 months old and has been on solids for about 4 months. You need to start with bland baby rice then very liquid pureed fruit such as apple and pears, babies don't know how to manipulate food in their mouths so do appear to struggle.

At first she only took about a teaspoon, but she has progressed and will eat solids such as pasta, cheese, banana and any type of bread including naan bread and Yorkshire pudding. Last night she munched her way through half an Italian breadstick!

You have to be patient and don't convince yourself that they don't like what they are being given - if they are hungry they will eat.

Thank you so much sizzler & daveyjp for your reply and your suggestion. I'm still trying other kinds of food such as potato and carrot mixture and I tried to make very smooth so he ate a good quantity of it.
