dd always prefered the fruit so i would make some apricot/peach/apple/pear purees and mix them with the veggies....like sweet potatoe and apricot.but purees bacame such a battle for us too, she just wouldnt eat anythning...so we moved on to baby led solids. it ended up being easier, less time consuming and she would eat...or at least try nearly everything i gave her...she would just eat off our plates(at 7 months) . there is heaps on here about BLS. might be worth haveing a look into that.
