Baby loves eating but it comes straight back up

My DD will be 6 months on the 11th May, started introducing food about a week ago on HV advice as she’s a refluxy baby, used to be silent reflux but now it doesn’t seem to hurt her any more, but she’s still sick loads.

I’ve tried her on banana, avocado (as finger foods then mashed up a bit and given on a spoon when she got too frustrating), baby porridge, some purées - and all I seem to have achieved is getting her sick to now be an interesting variety of colours and textures.

She seems to love eating, grabs at the finger foods, bowl, spoon, and smiles loads and giggles throughout, so I’m really torn about whether to keep going, just offer purées (so choking on stuff as it comes back up is less of a worry), or stop altogether for a few weeks.

She has kept some of it down, that’s been evident from her nappies, but it seems like at least 80% of anything she has ends up on her bib/clothes/highchair/mummy

Any advice on what to do would massively appreciated. Maybe I should try different foods or something, I don’t know, I feel a bit lost.

Just to add when I say ‘straight back up’ it’s not immediate, more like 5 or 10, sometimes 20 minutes later. And when she’s sick after just her formula it’s pretty much the same time after.
