“We now know that babies don’t need solid foods, and their bodies aren’t really ready for them, until they are around six months old. If you’ve waited until six months to start solids with your baby, you’ve skipped the spoon-feeding stage.

“Your baby will start by handling food, learning what it looks and feels like, then she’ll use her mouth to discover its taste and texture. She may not actually eat any at first, but this is quite normal; her milk feeds (whether she is breast- or formula fed) are still providing almost all of her nutrition so she doesn’t need anything else yet.”
