We recently started giving our 7 month old some solids to try. She really just gums them, and hasn't really eaten any until last night. We gave her avocado for the second time and she actually ate a good bit of it. This morning there were chunks of it in her poop. Obviously, she was unable to digest it. Does that mean her tummy isn't ready to handle solids yet? Should I wait a bit longer?
I wouldn't worry about it unless she seems to be in discomfort. Some things tend to pass right through without appearing to change much. Wait until she tries raisins! :shudder

Thanks!
Just give it some time. She's probably not digesting it all that well yet, but if it's not causing her distress, it's not a problem. It's all about the experimentation at this age, remember!
Remember that a lot of the digestion process happens in the mouth. Food gets mechanically processed by the teeth or gums, and gets added digestive enzymes from saliva. Until your baby becomes a proficient chewer, you can expect a lot of her food to come out looking more or less just like it went in. Except for the raisins, which will turn back into grapes. True story. :shudder
