Baby not accepting solids

2025-05-31 14:40:27
My baby is 6.5 months old. I start solids 15 days back offering different variety/repeating few varieties but she is not liking at all. She doesn't eat. I distract her n give a few spoons, she herself doesn't reach out for food. She doesn't drink water also so constipated too. Please help.
