my little girl is 7 months old, i tired her on food at 5 and half months and no go, so i waited till 6 months then tried again with little success. I think i found the problem she wants to feed herself!! she hates baby food so i made my own,no go. then i tried small pieces but she is to small to pick them up. so I'm trying to find things she can give herself and am finding it difficult . She likes egg yolks and doesn't mind me feeding them to her because she has to chew them up. mind you she has no teeth, she insists in chewing!
if anyone has any suggestions on chewable healthy food please let me know!!!!

I slice/dice up rockmelon & watermelon. They are really soft. My daughter mostly sucks on them till they are small enough to swallow.

try steaming baby carrots until they are "mushable". Pre cut them into pieces sized so that she doesn't choke.
