Question
What iron-rich foods should a six-month-old baby consume?
Answer
Iron supplementation for a six-month-old can be achieved through iron-fortified foods such as iron-fortified formula milk, iron-fortified rice puffs, or iron-fortified vitamin drops. At the same time, it is important to increase the intake of vitamin C-rich foods like tomato juice and vegetable purees to promote iron absorption. Once the baby starts eating solid foods, they should consume more iron-rich foods such as egg yolks, rice porridge, and vegetable porridge. Additionally, it is normal to breastfeed the baby two hours after taking sugar pills, but it is not recommended to feed milk or water within half an hour after taking sugar pills to avoid killing the vaccine with hot food.
