Fussy feeder

My DD is 8 months old. I have been trying to wean her since 4 months as she doesn't like formula. I have gone through a number of formula trying to find one that suits. She has been on goats formula for 3 months and this seems to the best of the bunch for her. However, she barely drinks more than 15oz a day. She is on solids but does not like anything other than sweet tasting foods. I started with purées at 4 months in a desperate attempt to get her to put on weight however most of the purées were sweet even the veg ones have fruit in them make them sweet. Now I'm trying to give her varied solids veg, meats and carbs but DD screams her refusal. She will happily take someone sweet, banana for instance. I am at my wits ends as to how to break this circle. Harsh as it sounds I hated feeding my baby milk and still do as it's so exhausting and challenging. It takes me an hours to feed my DD 4oz of milk. I thought she would be a good eater but now that seems like an even bigger battle. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get my DD to eat more varied foods instead of sweet tasting foods.

No advice I'm afraid OP but I have a similarly fussy feeder so watching with interest. Some days she's fine but others she will barely have anything. She's nearly 4 months.
