Hello,

First of all her weight is within normal range. The increase in weight will slow down in next months.

You can add pure of zucchini, potatoes, and carrots and red pepper and cheese.

Give cereals in mornings, vegetables pure for lunch and yogurt with fruits and cereals for dinner.

Give her two snacks of fruits a day. Breastfeed her at least twice daily In mornings and afternoons.

Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
