RDA of different foods for babies

[firsttimer78]

Is there guidelines for this? E.g. adults are supposed to have 5 portions fruit and veg a day (which I stick to religiously obviously ) and what not, but what about for babies? DS is 6.5mo and would happily eat banana porridge and scrambled egg all day every day but I don't want to give him too much of one food type (like eggs) and not enough of something else.

At this age what they eat is described as complementary food - they're still getting a fair amount - most, in fact - of nutrition from milk. It's as well to introduce a variety of foods. Aside from nuts, honey and salt, he can have what you do (except not low fat), so if you aim for a healthy diet yourself and give him roughly what you have (exceptions above) you won't go far wrong.
