Dear Priyanka,
Each child has their own growth pattern and the weight your son is appropriate for his age. At 6 months of age, we recommend to take top-up feeds, which in your case is something you have daily at your home.
6 month old children can be fed mashed rice, mashed potatoes in addition to commercial products that you've mentioned in your question. All the three products should be equally good.
