Hello. There are many reasons why a child cannot or does not want to take complementary foods. It can be inflammatory diseases in the oral cavity, teething. There may also be psychological reasons: the child was frightened at the first feeding of something, or it was fed against his will. In the end, the child may simply not be hungry.
You should follow the nutritional status of the child well. Try to add complementary foods in the morning, starting with 0.5 teaspoon of fruit or vegetable puree and double the serving every two days, adding to breast milk if necessary.

If within two weeks there will be no effect - contact your pediatrician at the place of residence.
