We’ve been weaning him on solids for about two weeks. I have tried purées of all kinds of fruit and veg, I’ve tried giving him a spoon and baby led weaning but he just hasn’t got the hang of swallowing yet. He always spits it out and seems like he’s not liking it at all. Now when I put him in his high chair to eat he refuses to open his mouth.

His tongue has always been out since birth and I thought it would go in by now but I’m starting to think this is why he can’t swallow and finding it stressful.

How long does it take before they swallow? Has anyone else got this issue? I see so many videos of babies taking to it instantly that I feel like maybe I’m missing something major?
