Hello,
Vit D3 supplementation can be continued upto 1 yr of age. If the baby was born at full term, generally nothing else is needed.

If your baby was born at term, you don't need to give any other supplements other than vitamin d 400IU daily. As you have mentioned baby has completed 6 months of age, start complementary feeding with mashed daal rice, khichri, porridge, mashed boiled potato, mashed banana, etc
