Simple precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I completely understand your anxiety related to the issue but in my opinion you should let your fear go now and rather determine to give her the best care possible.
In case she uses bottle feed then stop this habit as soon as possible.
Give her all the above foods as you told and also egg or paneer bhurji mashed in curd and halwa of all common flours like sooji, atta and besan.
Fresh fruits mashed as you are already giving are very good for her.
Along with this give her ample milk and water daily but ensure that they are germ free by boiling them properly and serving in clean utensils.
She must have started crawling so take good care that she doesn't put unclean hands or objects in her mouth.
Take care
Regards
