U can start cows milk . Avoid supplementing with powders as they contain lots of sugars . Can try honey/ jaggery / nuts powder for healthy weight gain

Her weight appears to be on lower side, what was the birth weight? Cow milk can be given in 1-2 servings. You have to add complimentary feeding like khichadi, daliya or other dishes as per your local practice. You need a physical consultation for low weight of your baby.
