Sounds like you are suffering from information overload and when there are soo many choices it is hard to know where to go sometimes. We also did BLS and from all the reading I did the thing that stuck in my mind the most is that our tastes and babies taster are different. We like variety and spices etc.... but to a baby the fact they are eating solids is very different to them so they don't care if they have the same thing for a week and don't care if their food is bland.

Do you have a family history of allergies? does your LO seem to be sensitive to food or perfumes etc...? I do believe there is ages that you introduce wheat (9mnths from memory) etc... but we just followed DS lead, he mostly had what we were eating but we are very boring, cereal for brekkie, sandwhich for lunch and meat and vege for tea. I didn't feed him meat until 9 mnths, he was still bf and getting enough iron from me.

dp fed DS weetbix from about 8 mnths... some people say not to give them weetbix because of the salt content and the iron can bind them so a gentler option would be oats. My DS never liked rice cereal. We were giving DS bread at 7 mnths. Eggs are another food that should be avoided until 12 mnths I believe. I did give DS eggs in a quiche so knew the egg was cooked properly and watched him carefully the first few times that he didn't react.
