Any advice on getting a baby to eat and like solid food?

My 5 month old doesn't like any of it. She closes and purses her lips when we try to give it to her.Any advice on getting a baby to eat and like solid food?
She might not be ready. Don't force it on her. Take a couple of days off from solids and then try again, with something else, maybe.Any advice on getting a baby to eat and like solid food?
Maybe it's too soon?





I started solids when my little man started grabbing foods off my plate and showing a real interest in every thing I ate.





Don't force her to try it - give her food when she seems really interested, you'll have more chance of success.
Your baby might be a little young. Try again in a month. With that said, my son started refusing purees at about 8 mos. I've had to let him feed himself ever since.
my son hated it all.


we just kept trying, and eventually he took to it.


it was repetition, over and over, and then once he started we laughed about how easy it was.


i do not recommend using sugar or anything to sweeten the food up to get him to eat it, it will only make things more difficult.


just repetition and keep trying and he will eventually eat - even if it takes weeks. best of luck!
Just give it a little time and try again. She's been on a liquid diet since birth. It's totally new to her. You'll do a lot of wasting, for the first few weeks, but when she's ready, she'll eat it.
At 5 months old she may not be ready to start solid food yet. Don't force it. If you like every few days you could attempt it to see if she would like it.. but it's not important that she eats it right now. Really they should just have breastmilk or formula for the first 6 months.. and until at least 1 year breastmilk or formula should be their primary source of nutrition. Don't stress if she doesn't want it. I only breastfed my son for the first 6 months and he was fine.. 95th percentile even for length and weight! When she's ready to eat solids she will let you know!
