VishalMom of a 6 m old boy2 days agoA. It can be frustrating when your baby won't open his mouth for solids. Here are some effective ways to handle this: Eat Together: Let your baby watch you eat. Sometimes seeing parents enjoy food makes them curious enough to open their mouth. Self-Feeding: Give him a soft piece of food (like a boiled carrot or potato) to hold. He might be more willing to put it in his mouth himself than being spoon-fed. Check for Teething: If his gums are sore, he may refuse to open his mouth. Try chilled fruit purees or slightly cooler food to soothe him. Gap Between Feeds: Ensure there is at least a 2-hour gap between milk/breastfeeding and offering solids so he is actually hungry. The 'Double Spoon' Trick: Give him a spoon to play with while you try to feed him with another spoon. Flavor Variety: Sometimes babies don't like a specific taste. Try naturally sweet options like mashed sweet potato or banana. Important: Never force-feed or push the spoon into a closed mouth, as it can create a negative association with food. Patience is key!"

If you are comfortable with this idea then you can add salt and spices into the food that you are giving I have given it from the beginning as per what my doctor recommended and never faced the problems if you’re okay with it then you can also add salt in the food
