hi all,

my baby is on semisolids right now..she is 6 months old..my doc advised me to give her iron drops once daily as i have weaned her..i m worried that she will get constipated by this..is it necessary to give her iron drops? did u moms gave your babies iron? she is not taking much fruits n veggies in her diet right now..pls guide.. Mel replied. My son was on formula milk from the 4th month on, but the doc still recommended iron drops. You can give it to her on most days... leaving out a few days. It' s better to give her iron, since baby' s stores of iron deplete after the 6th month, and they can have non-veg and protein rich food after the 8th month. Give her dal. mandeep replied. I never gave my son any iron drops nor it is reccomended here. Instead i choose Formula Milk which is speacially made for 6 months old babies n older n this FM has added iron in it.try to find if there is any FM available in the market from 6 months onwards.
try to give your baby fruit and vege. if she manage to eat couple of spoon at first thats enough dear
u can add couple of palak leafs in the vege. puree or mash whatever u give her. as i use to do that.
