I'm a firm believer in feeding your child the same thing everyone else is eating (provided it's healthy) as soon as they can eat solids. Their baby food (more on this to come) can most often be just a whizzed up version of what you're eating.
I think that a lot of problems with kids eating comes from us expecting them to eat more than their tummies can hold. Remember, their tummies are only the size of their little fist.
This link not only has customizable menus, if that's something you're looking for, but on the side there are portion and daily requirements for proper eating and nutrition.
Remember: If you get your little one eating healthy foods right at the start... that's what they'll know and love! If you give them processed foods from the start... that's what they'll know and love... hmmm. Then it will be twice as hard to get them to eat right when they can express an opinion.
