If this happens, try again the following day. If this behavior continues after a few attempts, the baby is not yet ready for solid foods. Wait a while before trying again. Start with one solid meal daily. The time of day does not matter, and will depend on your schedule and on your baby's needs.
Most people start with a dinner time feeding, especially if they work and are rushed in the morning.
After the baby has become comfortable with the spoon feedings and enjoys them, it is fine to add a second meal during the day. Most babies will show a need for a third meal at about six months of age. We generally recommend rice cereal as a first solid food. Infant cereals are fortified with iron, a very important part of their diet at this age. Rice is generally better tolerated than other cereals.
