Should I keep giving the same food or just offer diff and not give anything if it's rejected?

DD 6.5 mths, been off food for a while now. But she does like butternut squash or sweet potato purees. HAve tried diff veg and fruit but won't have it. Should I just keep giving meals of what I know she'll eat so that she gets used to having meals and having food in her mouth or should I keep trying the otehr foods and then not give her anything else if she refuses them?

i would give her food you know she does like but then slip in a little of something that she has refused before. apparantly it takes at least 20 attempts before a baby knows that it definately does not like this food! it could be that she is used to certain textures. i think that by keeping her on limited food you may be encouraging a picky eater in later life.
