I've the same problem. Every solid meal is a battle. Either she split out the food, or shut mouth tight or keep crying. At 11mths now, bb still rejects porridge. And recently she rejected cereal & puree too. Luckily she likes bread, biscuits, noodle & rice. So I feed her that instead although she doesn't take much too. Her main diet is still milk.
I was initially very worried as her solid intake is so little compared to other babies, but since she's growing well and loves her milk, I just let it be.
Maybe you can experiment with food of different texture to see what your baby likes?
