Difficulties starting solids

rsolsem

DD is 6.5 months old and we started trying out solids at 6 months. She has only had breastmilk to this point. She has been totally uninterested thus far. We have tried rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, avocado and sweet potato (over the course of the last two weeks...not a few days). We have experimented with before vs. after her bottle, and we get the same reaction. She just doesn't seem interested, and if we get some on her lips/in her mouth, she makes an "icky" face.

 I know food is just "for fun" at this point and isn't meant to provide any real portion of their diet, but did anyone else's LO take a while to get the hang of solids? Any advice?
