We start feeding my Baby girl from 4.5 months, 2-3 spoon rice cereal mix in day. Almonds, dry dates and nutmeg paste 1/4th spoon to her in night. And rest all is breast milk. Now she is of 6 months and we had start her water also little spoon some 1-2 in a day
Please tell me is this quantity enough, more or less for her. Please guide me.
Thanks.

If anything, it's too much. The World Health Organisation recommends that no baby should get anything except baby milk, either breast or formula, until six months, and after that, food to taste, but with the bulk of the calories still coming from breast or formula milk.
Keep breastfeeding her and let her take small tastes of the family food (cooked and unsalted) to try out the different tastes and textures.
Baby Led Weaning is where rather than the parents making special baby food and feeding it to the baby, she is allowed to feed herself with suitable food. In general, babies who do baby lead weaning seem to be better eaters, with less issues about food. They eat the amount that's right for them.
