he won't be behind at all. Food before 1 is to learn how to chew and to get extra nutrients. There is a ton of information online, but you can try again at 7 or even 8 months. Some babies are not ready at six months.

@queeneden,

Why is there no rush? This won't put him behind?

He may not be ready yet. There's no rush.

Give it a few tries pause and make sure they swallow. My lo is 6.5 months and gets better everyday. But you could try again in a week. But just keep practicing.

He might not be ready.

Maybe try making it fun for him. The airplane thing always works for us!
