Some babies initially refuse complementary food, which is quite common. Generally, between 6-9 months, some babies are cautious about new flavors and textures. What matters is continuing to offer it without insisting, without rushing, choosing a time when the baby is hungry and comfortable. Breast milk or follow-up formula is still the main food; complementary food at this stage is for exploration, not a required meal.
If your baby is over 6 months old and gaining weight close to normal, even if they only take small tastes for weeks, their development won't be affected. If there's prolonged solid refusal, a decrease in diaper output, or no weight gain, it's appropriate to consult your pediatrician.
