My baby rejected a vegetable today. Should I offer it again tomorrow, or wait a while before trying again?

Rejecting a vegetable is one of the most common things in the early solids phase — usually not a problem, just a normal stage. Current pediatric guidance: wait a few days, then try again rather than pushing it at the same meal. That's because baby's rejection often isn't about taste — it could be mood, teething discomfort, or a textural response. Trying the same vegetable 2-3 days later in a different texture (thin puree instead, or just barely mashed) often works better. If rejection continues after 10-15 tries, rest that vegetable for a month, then start fresh; the thinking is he's rejecting because he hasn't built familiarity yet, not because he dislikes it.
