Welcome to HCM

BREAST MILK IS THE BEST MILK
Exclusive breast feeding shud be given for 6 months.

Anyways if you have started with complementary feeds just go on with it.
It is good you have started with ragi, add rice based food too.

Ideally home made food like rice, ragi, smashed potatoes, soups can be given but in easily swallowable form and less spicy.
Introduce new foods one by one and in slow fashion. If non-veg first feed egg white by 7 to 8 months,then yellow of egg by 10 months.

Along with home made food it is good to give formula feeds like cerlac atleast twice a day in order to maintain a balanced nutrition.
Take care.
