Food for 6 month old

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hello, my little one just turned 6 months and we started giving him semi solids like ragi porridge. I feel my milk supply has drastically reduced and it's not being sufficient for him. So far he has been exclusively breastfed. Could you please let me know if we can give him semi solids 3 times a day.. And also please let me know what other food can we give him. And since my supply has reduced should we give him formula? Can any medicine be suggested if the kid get digestion issues and stomach pain? Thanks in advance for the reply. Appreciate your patience.
