Brief Answer:
diet supplements advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
As your baby is grown up now to digest outside food along with breast milk.
You need to feed her every 3-4 hours alternating with breastfeeding.
Give her at 2 portions of fruit in a day like banana mashed in mixer with milk, orange juice or chickoo mashed in water or milk.
Baby foods available in market can be given too if you are a working woman or in case you are going out in market.
Cottage cheese chunks mashed in curd can be fed which are a good source of proteins.
Start with these simple add one and then after she is 9-10 months old you can also start egg white and halwa of different flour types.
Visit her pediatrician regularly and monitor proper growth charts.
Take care.
