How Often Should I Breast Feed My Child Along With Other Food Items?

Hi,
My baby has turned 6 months and I have been giving her Cerelac Rice for a month. Tried banana but she developed severe constipation. She takes veg soup during the day. What other food/ fruits can I give and how many servings in a day ? Also, how often should i breastfeed with all this food?
Thanks
