waiting for ur reply. Hetal replied. Hi,
at first, as to what you have written, you are givinng diluted milk,,is it cows milk ? you mean ?
if at all its cows milk, please avoid it at 6months until and unless your dr recmnds you..cows milk doesnt have iron in it and 6months to 1 year your baby needs more iron which only iron fortified formula or your BM will be able to provide..ofcourse eating a healthy diet for a good iron BM is a must..
about foods and charts,,you can refer to links below to get some ideas or tentative schedules that might help you...

and the below link that will help you to give some idea on what all you can do to start other solids,,your baby is elder than hers, so you might want to consider it :

about baby not taking bottle, you can try offering him nuby sippy cup as well,,see if that is acceptd,,also at 6months,you can try offering her bottle that is WIDE neck,,it often helps..the brands like second nature,avent,dr.brown bottles in US gives good transtns..keep trying..look for the bottles that have various control flow nipples acc to agewise..it will help.

hope this helps,,srry for late reply,,wasnt regular to this board...
good luck
