Hi I have read your query thoroughly. You have raised a very important question. It is extremely important that your baby must get a well balanced and nutritive diet during these years of growth and development.
Make sure your baby Should get breast milk or formula milk, chunkier purees, and some finger foods. Do try scrambled eggs and small bite-size (about a half inch) cubes of well-done pasta, vegetables, meatballs, cheese, and ripe fruit.
Measure weight frequently and stop giving anything in food which shows signs of allergy.
You must consult your child's doctor regularly.
