Eats solids for 2 days then refuses

OK this is the second time we've gone through this.
First was with cereal. She ate it pretty well for 2 days and then refused. I said OK she's not ready for solids and that was that.
2 weeks later I tried pears because she is having terrible poo issues and I would rather have her eat pears than give her milk of magnesia on a regular basis.
The same thing happened. She ate them for 2 days so well. Opened her mouth wide and everything then yesterday (day 3 of the food trial) she refused them all together.
Do I try another food after only 2 days? Do I say she's not ready for solids and just try again in a few weeks?

Emily has had plenty of times when she just wasn't in the "mood" for eating solid foods. It has taken some time for her to get used to them but now she's liking it way more then her bottles it almost seems. Anyway, when she just didn't feel like it sometimes, I didn't push the issue. I saw it as "extra" nutrition -- so I would just try again at the next feeding.

Also she definately prefers certain fruits over others. Bananas are her favorite. And they ALL help her poop. She poops as soon as she's done eating almost every time.

Thanks!
She did great with pears 2 days then refused then ate them again. So I said OK time for something new....PEACHES. Well she was not having it and then I tried the pears again and she didn't want them either.
Oh well. I am not too worried because I wasn't too big on starting solids this early I would just rather her have fruit than medication to help her poop.
We'll keep trying.

She probably isn't ready yet. Try again in a few days.
