61/2 month baby is behaving normal. You have started semisolid food in day. Night, the baby needs milk only. Dont worry. Feed as demands. If you feel, milk is less, go for formula at night. Stage 2 formula is good

Better increase the semisolids to 3-4 times and continue DBF. Prefer complimentary feeds during daytime and continue Mother feed at night. If still baby feels hungry , u can give formula feeds at night.
