What Can I Do To Increase My Baby's Weight?

Hi Doc there, my six month old baby girl weighs 15lb 7oz and breastfeeding her. Is her weight normal and I have started solids by four month on her paediac advice. She eats considerable amount ie. breakfast-banana porridge, lunch-cereal mixed with veg or fruits,dinner-rye porridge. The problem starts from seventh month that she minimised her feeding and per sitting she feeds only one side,what can do to increase her feeding? Yesterday when I was feeding her applesauce after her evening nurse she vomited which came through her mouth n nose, I took her to paediac and he said she is fine now but I am worried am I over feeding her? Otherwise she is active, what can I do to increase her weight?
