Hi...I suggest you start giving her home made cereal porridge as she is more than 6 months old. You can introduce one cereal at a time (rice/ dhal/ pulses etc) and start giving her all seasonal fruits. Add ghee to all your preparations to make it more calorie dense. There is no need or proof that only costly formulas will give good energy for the baby. To be frank I always suggest all my patients to give only home made food.
