He will start solids when he’s ready. Don’t worry! Just keep offering new foods and textures and he will get the idea
8 Month Old Not Interested In Solids
He either spits everything out, gets frustrated, or thinks it’s playtime.
We’ve been trying since he was 5 months old. I feed him homemade purées + BLW combo. I try to offer him solids twice a day in the afternoon and early evening. Either right when he wakes up from a nap or an hour after I bottle feed him. But both strategies are no different.
The best he’ll eat is a fruit or veggie purée mixed with sugar free strawberry yogurt. But I know I can’t eat that twice a day everyday… I thinks that’s a lot of dairy with not enough of other nutrients.
LO has two teeth on the bottom front and center. He chews on his teething toys very very well and attempts to want everything else in his mouth (lol) except for handheld BLW food.
My husband and I eat with him sometimes so he can watch us, we also try to offer little bit of our food to him that he can eat. But he shows no interest. - turns his head, (or whole body), spits, shreds tie food with his hands..)
Do I need more patience? Anything new I should try? Also, please share your stories.

What have you tried? Playing is very normal at first. It’s not as much about nutrition at this age as he gets that in the milk! It’s about tasting, textures, etc. and a yucky face does not mean they don’t like it! It just means it is not what they expected. “Feeding Littles” is a great science-based Instagram and they say babies and toddlers sometimes need to try things 20 times before they like it!
Maybe try feeding him when everyone is also eating. So he knows it’s not playtime. Also try different textures! At first I tried chicken n rice purée with my LO but he did not like that texture. So I just gave it to him regular in small pieces and he ate it like that. Keep trying mama !
DA
I def didn’t see the part where you guys eat with LO lol disregard that part lol sorru
