We had it with DD2 until about 6.5 months old. Even after she lost the tongue thrust reflex, it took her close to another month to know what to do with the food in her mouth. She loved mealtimes, put lots of food in her mouth and chew, but then spit it out. She just started a week ago to actively swallow. We are also doing a mix of BLW and purees. I was worried but it turns out she is doing just fine now!
