Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Infants in this age group requires at least 4-5 servings of complementary feeds along with milk. This should include a well balanced healthy diet. So, you may give him the following:
- Carbohydrates such as various cereals ( rice, wheat, ragi, maize , XXXXXXX etc)
- proteins such as pulses, soya beans, dry fruits and nuts
- Dairy products like cheese, butter, creams etc.
- vegetables and fruits
Avoid cow milk, honey for at least first year of life.

To encourage good eating habits:
- eat together
- Avoid distractions such as televisions. Sing rhymes
- use coloured plates and glasses
- make proper food time table. And avoid offering food all the times.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
