I tried giving my baby Poly-Vi-Sol a few times but she always spits it out...even when I mix with breast milk.
Do you give your breast fed baby an iron supplement?
-
I never did. When she started eating solids we aimed for iron rich foods. They did a blood test at 9 months and she had good iron but I've always had really high blood iron too.
-
Our Pedi just 'prescribed' it for when we start transitioning to milk at 11.5 months.
-
We did baby vitamins (with iron included) because I breastfed and am usually anemic.
-
The doctor recommended them after 6 months but we never did it. It is based on early research and ismt always necessary. She brought it up at his one year appointment and I said he had a blood test and wasn't anemic. If he had symptoms I would. Otherwise I recommend to my family not to.
