The NHS website doesn't split it out from 6 months plus but it advises from 9 months:-
- three to four servings of starchy food each day, such as potato, bread and rice,
- three to four servings of fruit and vegetables - vitamin C in fruit and vegetables helps to absorb iron, so give these at mealtimes, and
- two servings of meat, fish, eggs, dhal or other pulses.
Mainly though, I think it's all just about offering them a balanced diet as we should do for ourselves.
