Aarti replied. You have a nice list sent by rani. Check with your doctor if you can have iron supplements. Tip: whenever you have iron rich food like greens, rajma, dates make sure you have something rich in Vit. C at the same time. Easiest will be orange juice. Vit C makes the iron absorption better.

Aarti replied. Are you feeding her formula or breastmilk? If breastmilk, then you should have a diet high in iron. If formula, then check if it has iron. avk replied. supriyas, My doc suggested to use Poly visol which is a vitamin syrup, which will help the baby to improve in blood count. you can also give him food which is rich in iron like Gerber rice, oat or multi grain cereal. Apple sauce is good source of iron.

Best of luck. Hopefully your baby's blood count will improve by next appointment.
I have heard it is pretty common in most of the Indian babies avk replied. supriyas, My doc suggested to use Poly visol which is a vitamin syrup, which will help the baby to improve in blood count. you can also give him food which is rich in iron like Gerber rice, oat or multi grain cereal.
