And what other food you are offering?
HB is definately low... That is dew to her faulty feeding by you only.
For Anemia start Syrup HbHOPE 5 ml once a day atleast for 3 months
Regarding diet...
Stop bottle feeding if it is there... Not rely on milk only.. give her plenty of options to eat like cooked daal, cooked rice, khichdi, kheer, halwa, cooked vegetables, soups, fruits etc...
Normally she should be eating what you are eating in your daily diet...but as you have not taken care of her diet properly start from begining... Give her homemade healthy food at every 3-4 hours.

keep watch on weight gain... despite these diet if she doesn't gain weight consult Pediatrician for physical examination and further workup.
