Male a day wise food chart for your baby, so that you don't have to daily think what to give today.
I made below when my baby was 7 months and try to follow as much as I can.
Now since she is 9 months I have also added Parantha, eggs and other pulses.

Dates brand- I usually use Lion or Happilo.
It claims no added sugar. These are very popular brands, I am confident on its quality.
I order from big basket.

Heeng- Lesser than you usually use for Tadka.
I add heeng for my babies dal (all Dal's), khichdi etc.
I cook her food the same way we cook at home but without Salt, Sugar and masala.

Hello mom 
Some babies don’t gain weight easily but in such cases if your baby is active and taking proper meals on time then everything is fine and nothing to worry about. You should add cereals in babies regular diet plan. Cereals is a good source of proteins and nutrition and also help in gaining weight. Also start giving banana shake every morning.

Happy parenting
