How to get baby to eat when unwell

Hey, my lo has had a fever for the last couple of days, with a red throat and red ears. He’s not been sleeping well, and has eaten barely any solids yesterday and so far today.

Weaning and baby crying

Hi all, Just looking for guidance. Just started feeding baby now as he is 6 months old now. Every time it is time to feed, baby doesn’t want to open his mouth to eat, he cries every time. How did everyone else manage with the weaning and starting foods with baby and did you all experience this as well?
