Also agreed, pouches are so very convenient as you can easily divide the portion if they're too distracted to eat when out and about
I loved hearing about those little appreciative noises she made. I'd forgotten my youngest had done that, so cute!
Savraj's reaction was similar to that of my daughter's, and from what I've read is typical of most babies when they try something new.
We also gave our daughter a lot of finger foods, which she very much enjoyed!
During these periods, I've had to sometimes resort to giving my daughter more milk as opposed to more solids so that she is at least semi-full.
At 7 months old, babies are generally teething which can be very painful, and need the comfort of foods they are used to. However, both my children often learned to appreciate new tastes by having a small taste of food the rest of the family were eating. We would liquidize veg or fruits and add other ingredients as they became older. Some they enjoyed, others they didn't!
We learned that every baby is different and it made feeding much easier.
What I learned to do was to leave it longer between meals until they were hungry, then they were ready to eat their foods. Luckily both children were usually eating quite well at this age, enjoying certain veg and fruits, toast and cereals, though greens took a little longer. But I didn't push it, just gave them foods they did enjoy then trying again.
