MY baby is 6 months old now. i have started giving her solid food when she turned 5 months as i felt she is not satisfied even after 10-12 breast feed a day.now she is 7.5 kgs.i am giving 1-2 tbs of rice cereal mixed with water 2 times a day.but i think she is not satisfying her hunger . she is not getting good sleep at night used to wake up 5-6 times and after feeding she sleeps again and will wake up again after a couple of hrs.so should i need to increase the quantity of cereal and if so how much should i increase the amount.how many times i should give solid food a day?
i haven' t given her formula till now.should i give her rice cereal mixed with formula ? is there any problem in starting formula at this stage? please advice.

thank u in advance
regards
