Question
The 8-month-old baby’s blood test revealed insufficient iron storage. Can they take Yawei’s liver powder to supplement?
Answer
Iron deficiency does not always correlate with early infant anemia symptoms. Therefore, without perinatal hemorrhage or repeated blood tests, early iron supplementation cannot prevent a decrease in hemoglobin levels. For premature infants, when their weight doubles, their iron stores usually deplete, and additional iron supplementation is necessary.
