I have a 6 and a half month old daughter weight 6kg and yet she has not got any front teeth. Now every relative is asking me if I have started solids but she seems so small and throw away anything that is given to her and only want breastmilk im very confused if her eruption has delayed so I should delay solids too or I should force her little bit to eat purees n formulas?

Do not force anything.  Gently and gradually introduce semi solids first.  1st teeth eruption can be delayed upto 13 months of age.  Have patience with your infant and start weaning with semi solids.

Need to start solids like puree or paste form if completed 6 months For child to gain optimum weight, child requires more protein which is present in food and less in milk First tooth can appear at 15 month of age too and that is normal So don't worry about the tooth and star your solids
