Hello,
Since your baby is now 6 months old you need to start his weaning with supplemental foods like mashed bananas, cereals, potatoes, eggs and yoghurt. As long as he is not chocking and enjoying his food give him different kinds of healthy diet to develop his taste. You can also consult your local pediatrician for proper diet charts as per availability of your area.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
