Anshu Singh please wait till completion of six months. start semi solid food only after she is 6 months old. as far as less supply of breastmilk is concerned. it is completely based on demand. the more u feed ,the better would be the supply. feed her as often as possible and the supply would increase on its own. secondly have nutritious food yourself such as milk ,proteins in the form of pulses, eggs etc. thirdly stay positive and feed ur mind with positive thoughts. u r producing enough milk as much is required for ur baby. feed often and it will increase further. hope this helps!
