Talk to Pediatrician on Paediatrician Iron Supplements
Asking For Other, Male 1, N. Waziristan
My son is 10 months old. His weight is 11 kg. He is healthy, active, and playful. He was on BF2 with fruits, bread, eggs, yoghurts, butter, and milk shakes. Now, he is taking cow's milk along with fruits and all the mentioned stuff instead of BF2. Can I give him iron supplements? if yes, then please suggest good iron supplements.
