7 month old won't eat anything but toast - I'm desperate!

My 7 month started weaning beautifully at 4 months and I gave her mostly home purees. I thought it was a highchair issue as she screams whenever she's in it, unless I give her toast to chew on. I can barely get 2 spoonfulls into her at each meal and she screams all the way through. She has tried holding a spoon but gets annoyed and throws it on the floor, I tried giving her the bowl to see if she would get stuck in but she just throws it on the floor. She just wants toast and fruit puree or yoghurt. So I don;t give any sweet now. HELP!! Anyone had this? I'm upset every day and I am loosing my patience with the constant crying at meal times!!

Sorry, haven't time to read the whole thread but .. If she likes toast, you could adapt it to include the nutrients she needs. Spread it with fruit puree, maybe, or yogurt. It doesn't have to look nice as long as she's eating it. A friend's baby wouldn't eat anything for months unless it was mixed with natural yogurt - looked gross (she used to actually turn the baby away from people as experience had taught her that people tended to gag watching her eat!), but she ate. You could even puree up some soup and have her dip the toast into it, very exciting for a 7 mo!
