Question

Does a 4-month-old baby need iron supplements?

Answer

According to the description, if the baby’s milk supply is sufficient, it is generally not necessary to supplement iron. However, if the milk supply is insufficient, one can gradually introduce some iron-rich foods such as egg yolks and rice porridge. When introducing new foods to the baby, it is important to increase the amount gradually to avoid overloading. Moreover, parents should also pay attention to the baby’s mental state and other health indicators. If any abnormalities are found, it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor as soon as possible.
