more solid food issues

we are having an awful time making our way through foods with DD so far we have tried...

she likes and will eat :
sweet potatoes
carrots
peas
bananas

she wont eat:
pears
peaches
zuchinni
apples
green beans

she will eat and likes but they DO NOT like her (awful BM and diaper rash):
squash
strawberries

any advice on how to get her to eat a better variety of things? my friend told me to try yogurt but im thinking we will wait since shes on Isomil and i can only imagine what dairy would do to her!

Candice...

What I do with Kristina is give her one spoonful of something that she likes (just a tiny bit on the edge of the spoon) so that she thinks the next spoonful will be the same, and then give her the food that she isn't too crazy about yet.

Tonight for example....

I made her carrots and chicken w/chicken broth all pureed in the processor.

She wasn't crazy about it....

So I had a half of a jar of a fruit that she likes in the fridge, and I gave her just a smidge on the spoon, and then I would load up the spoon with the chicken carrot mix, and she was opening her mouth wide and I would put it in....

She got mad that I 'tricked' her, but then I would give her another little smidge of the fruit.... That's how I did her whole dinner, and she finished! Afterward, I gave her 2oz of yobaby as her dessert!
