Question

Is it appropriate for a 100-day-old baby to take iron-rich tablets?

Answer

Iron supplements should be started in small doses and taken during or after meals to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. For nutritional deficiency anemia, improving the intake of iron-rich foods such as spinach, red dates, black fungus, and duck blood can help. It is also crucial to regularly check your baby’s nutritional status and blood indicators and to adjust as advised by a doctor. If your baby shows symptoms of anemia such as lethargy or lack of appetite, seek medical attention promptly.
