For bournvita, you can start at one year old. But it is advisable to start from 2 years. These health drinks are not safe to be given to kids before 2 years of age, as your little one’s kidneys are not ready to take the heavy load of these foods. As babies surpass the weaning stage, their digestive system starts to accept new foods. In 2 years your breastmilk helps them grow a strong enough digestive system to take on these complex foods. As baby graduates from infant to toddler, she needs the right nutrients to grow. As per the nutritional recommendations of WHO for children, for healthy growth a baby needs a variety of proteins and micronutrients including Iron, Zinc, Calcium, Riboflavin(Vit. B2), Vitamin B12 etc. Milk along with Bournvita, Complan or Horlicks can act as a great source of these while also making milk flavourful.
Please stop the ORS and oral zinc....it is not for newborns or 2 months old!!!
For infants, always see a paediatrician first before starting first aid

Drooling in children normally resolves with time. Sometimes it can be a sign that baby want to erupt new tooth. In an otherwise healthy baby, there is nothing to worry about.... Some babies drool saliva as habit which they outgrow. However if there are other medical issues for example delayed developmental milestones... Kindly see a Paediatrician preferably a Paediatric Neurologist for further evaluation
The use of these drugs are highly unnecessary

You are doing great already. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. You can also add soya bean to the pap if you wish to. But give the soya bean separately if introducing for the first time in case of allergy.
Any age appropriate milk labelled 6-12 months is suitable for your baby.
