Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your daughter is still 6 months, her gut is not ready to digest the cereal and it may cause the bloating sensation to your daughter.
I would suggest her to continue the breastfeeding and you can give supplementary feedings like Dupalac 1 or Lactogen 1 or Nan 1, which has the ingredients required for this age.
Later on after 10 months you can add complementary feeds like ceralac, ragi ceri, smashed vegetables and soft diet.
Thank you
