Since she turned 6 months have been offering my DD finger food at most mealtimes, mostly she just plays with it and only occasionally does she put in mouth and have a bit of a suck - I don't think she has swallowed anything yet. It seems like if she gets it into her mouth without it touching her lip she will have a suck on it, but if it hits her lip she goes euwww and drops it. Her co-ordination is really improving and she is getting very good at picking things up but not really putting much in her mouth (unlike all non-food items which go straight in) - is it better to just take a break and just not offer her anything for a bit or to keep offering? I have Gill Rapley's book from library and the ABA booklet and so far have offered banana, avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, bread stick, toast, sweet potato, porridge.

She is not interested in being spoon fed at all she throws her head back whenever bring spoon near her mouth, she does like chewing on spoon if is holding herself but only once has removed any food from it.

Before she was six months, she would grab at all food but now am happy for her to have food she has stopped this - contrary madam!
