How to start solids at 6 months?

[Baby Marena]

Hi! My DD is almost 6 months now and we have to start on solids, so far I only breastfeed.  She is on 4 EASY and my biggest concern is when I should include solids on her routine.  Her routine right now is:

E 5:30 am
A
S 7:45 am (For 1.5 hours)

E 9:30 am
A
S 11:45 am (for 1.5 hours)

E 1:30 pm
A
S 3:45 pm (for 45 min)

E 5:30 pm
A Bath & Massage
S 7:30 pm

Then I feed again at 9 pm and Dreamfeed at 11:30 pm, which I have been told I should switch at 10:30 pm. 
So, according to this routine when I should be feeding solids, or should I change her routine.  When solids are introduced should I keep doing the 9 pm feed and dreamfeed?  How do calories work when solids are introduced, should she be hungry in the middle of the night or should she be able to sleep through the night

Generally you can give solids an 1hr after breastfeeding and generally the best time to start is after the late morning feed.
Instead of feeding at 9&11.30pm try a dreamfeed at 10.30pm instead.
You asked if she should still be hungry in the middle of the night, does she still wake up for a feed during the night?

Thank you! She has been waking in the middle of the night the last week because she just went through a growth spurt; but usually she doesnīt, although she does wake at 3 am unable to go back to sleep by herself, so I pat her to sleep for 3-5 min or so, I was just hoping that once solids were introduced she would sleep all the way through.
Another question, how many times a day should I feed solids at the beginning?

Just start with 1 meal for a few weeks,if you are finding things are going well and it isn't interferring with her breastfeeds then you can try a 2nd meal. Just wanted to remind you that starting solids isn't always the answer to for babies sleeping through the night.
