Hi, when first introducing my baby to solid, how can I get her to open her mouth?  Thanks

Hi, If your baby is less than 6 months old and won't open her mouth, I would leave it for a few weeks. If she is 6 months old, coaxing by playing etc can be helpful at times (smiles, fun, relaxed environment). Truth is, you cannot (or, at least, should not) MAKE your baby open her mouth. Sitting her at the table when you are eating is also often the cue babies need to get excited to try solids.
