Question
My child is only 14 months old, and he went to the hospital yesterday. The doctor said he has anemia and doesn’t like to eat. He is still drinking milk. What should I do?
Answer
Your child is already 14 months old, and consuming only milk at this stage may lead to malnutrition, particularly a lack of iron. Generally, it is recommended to start introducing solid foods when the baby is four months old to meet their growth and development needs. If you haven’t started doing so yet, it is advisable to begin providing solid foods gradually and consider giving iron supplements under the guidance of a doctor to improve the anemia condition. Please consult with your doctor for individualized advice and assistance.
