thanks for your query
P lease continue to feed your baby as often as your baby demands and you can manage (preferably more often than you are giving )
Continue to give him mashed fruit (banana/mango/stewed apple) and if you find his intake of fruit is not enough at one time (still hungry) you may try giving him fruit twice a day.
If your baby is taking multigrain food happily you may continue to give.
At present it seems your baby is taking enough semi -solid foods, though i will recomend you to give breast feeds more often.
