A. It's common for babies around 7 months old to be hesitant about eating solids as they are still getting used to new textures and flavors. If your daughter is only eating 1 or 2 spoons and is reluctant to open her mouth, try to make mealtime more enjoyable and less stressful. Be patient and avoid force-feeding, as it can create negative associations with food. Try offering different textures, such as purees, mashed fruits, or soft finger foods, to see what she likes. You can also try eating together, showing her how you eat, and making mealtimes fun with playful sounds or toys. If she continues to refuse food or if you're concerned about her growth or nutrition, it's best to consult with her pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
