Hi, you need to give exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age.. Formula milk better to avoid because it is not good for health..
By 6months normally breast milk quantity will come down.
You can drink plenty of water, milk, fruit etc to maintain milk output
After completion of 6 months, start cereals.. Ragi porridge is good to start
Can start rice with curd, dal, boiled mashed vegetables slowly
Can give small sips of water in between after 6 months

Yes it's true that till 6month baby should be exclusively breastfed only, but due to some anavoidable/medical issues you are unable to do that. Packet cow milk pauesterised is good substitute to be given with katori spoon, comparatively better than formula milk to some extent.
Next Steps
after 6months start gradualy with home made dal gravy-thick dal-daliya-boiled meshed potato-meshed banana-halwa-khichdi-meshed softened roti-
all food enriched with adequate ghee Or sugar
* consistency of food should be like paste(neither very thin nor very thick)
* always accompany baby while feeding
