When should I be worried about baby not wanting solids

Question

My son is 8months old now but 7months corrected as he was a preemie. He's shown no interested in food, I've tried purees, porridges and age appropriate finger foods. Everything that goes in his mouth just get pushed back out.
I know food before 1 is just for fun but just wondering at what point I should be concerned? Has anyone else been in the same position and then one day baby just suddenly wanted food?
First time mum so I worry about everything 🤣

Answer

Sounds like babe needs more practice mapping their mouth! Which is normal! 
Offer BIG pieces of steamed broccoli. Or a whole pineapple core. Or a rib bone with most of the meat off. Or a whole mango pit. These are all fantastic resistive foods that will help babe gain strength to bite, chew, and swallow. 
Avoid spoon feeding and purées/baby food for now as they are actually a very hard texture for babies and don’t teach how to eat properly. (You can reintroduce later as sides/snacks). 
Check out solid starts for more advice and tips! Their website has a fantastic search function that can lead you to articles to answer most of your questions! Their app tells you how to cut foods appropriately! Most of the time we cut food too small for babies!!
No need to worry as of yet! Especially with babe being a preemie! 
My daughter has done BLW since 6m and didn’t start swallowing much food until 9 months old. She was also a month early but hasn’t needed that month as of yet. 
Stay strong mama!
