1.he seems to hungry,,the only thing that comes in mind is he seems to be ready for solids.and 6months is just the right time for that.
2.offer him bf/bm as often as needed.
3.give him slow transition,,try it.,day 1=80% bm,20%formula or lesser formula,,or lets say 1ox formula is to the whole feed of bm,,,slowly reduce the bm amount in the mixture and give him slow transtn,,your baby will take time in devlopng taste or letme say accptng the formula..
keep tryin..try changing the brand of formula(but same type,if u are on iron fortified,,continue iron fortified,,if soy,continue soy,,but just chnge the brand)..

you will get all your answers therein...
as far milestones are concerned,,unless your dr shows the concern,,you should not be worried...its ok for babies to skip or delay the stage for a month or so,,if its a part of worry,,,your dr will show his concern,,,until then njoy..also note that crawling is not an imp milestones,,but make sure to give your baby lots of tummy time,,and make sure he feels comfortable on tummy,,if not,,check with your dr.
good luck....
