Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Don't worry the weight of your baby is not that bad. Usually weight at this age should be around 3 times the birth weight.
The best food at this age is 4-5 bowls of complementary feeds along with breast feeds or formula feeds. It's advisable to eat from family pot I.e make your baby sit and eat when whole family eats atleast 3 meals a day. Offer all the staple food that you eat routinely. Do not reject any food unless and until you feel that the child is allergic or rejects it constantly.
Complementary feeds should include mashed and puried food which includes cereals, pulses, fruits and vegetables.
Hopefully this will help you.
I would be happy to help you with any further questions.
Take care
