In fact, mothers don't have to worry about this, and relaxing their mood is more conducive to their baby's acceptance of complementary food. If the mother feeds the baby and talks to the baby unhurriedly, it can often make the baby finish the food happily.
Writing this, it reminds me of when my daughter first started to add complementary food, which is also like this, this is not eaten, that is not eaten, several times a day to make different styles of complementary food, the little guy opens his mouth and barely eats a little, and then closes his small mouth. At this point, I couldn't help but lose my temper with her and even hit her.
Later, after studying, I learned that she has not yet mastered the eating skills, and adding complementary food requires patience, so that the baby can slowly get used to it. Later, I changed the way I fed the complementary food, I used a gentle tone, coaxing and doing a demonstration of eating, and finally after a week of training, my daughter was able to accept the complementary food well.

When putting the spoon in the baby's mouth, the mother should place the spoon slightly in the middle of the baby's tongue. If the baby spits out the food, the mother can coax the baby and say, "Baby, the food cooked today is so delicious, come, open your mouth wide, let's try it." "I was coaxing to try again. If the baby still doesn't want to eat after trying a few times, the mother should not be reluctant.
