my son was the same way try applesauce if youve already tried that then stop and pick it back up in a few weeks. try feeding him one thing at a time so if he is allergic to anything you will know that it is
good luck

If he's been on solids for a month and keeps spitting it out then that means that his digestive tract is just not ready for solid foods.
If he has swallowed the food before and he is just starting to spit foods out all of a sudden, it could be because he prefers the sweet taste of the juice instead of the other food. Try not to give him sweet tasting things such as juice or jarred fruit and then try giving him jarred veggies instead to see if he just has a food preference.

If by cereal you mean rice cereal. My daughter never ate it. I went through the whole thing of adding fruit to it, I waited and retied it, but she just never liked it. If your son does not like it, don't push it on him. If you push it on him eventually feeding time will be a hassle, and your son won't want to eat anything you try to give him. As far as jar foods go, I had the best luck with carrots and sweet potatoes. (even though her doctor suggested green beans)

It's not that he doesn't like the foods, he is just not used to their texture. At first they spit out as much food as they take in and that is "normal". You have to be consistent and keep giving him the foods the doctor says he can eat.

Wait a couple of weeks & try again....not all babies are the same and will not take to solids right away. Babies get adequate nutriton from breast milk or formula as long as they are getting enough! don't worry...he'll eventually get in to it and will eventualy love it!!

its normal for babies who just start solid to have that attitude. dnt wryy. baby i snot used to anything but milk so u need to be patient with ur baby and giv him time to get use to the adjustment. tk it 1 step at a time giv him a spoon here and then dnt force it on him. and always mke sure what ever u giv him is smooth and like puree. dnt woryy ur baby will tke time but will strt to get used to it soon.

try waiting anotehr month and starting again. At 5 months he does not need any addition foods other than milk.
