Dietary changes and supplements usually
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Your child is very young, and it is important to know whether or not your baby has begun supplement or formula food, or is still on breast milk.
First of all, it is important to consult a paediatrician and get your child adequately screened and diagnosed. Correction is mandatory and of utmost importance. Following are the treatment options:
-Dietary changes are mandatory but may not be enough to reach the required levels and within a shorter duration of time
-But in most cases, a supplement is mandatory which is given in the form of oral drops
If at all your child is on formula food then your doctor may choose to add the supplement to the formula food or even breast milk. But please make sure you also consult your doctor for the best possible diet if your child can tolerate solids. But if your child has not yet been introduced to solids, then it would be best to consult your doctor at the earliest to initiate iron supplement drops, which can be mixed with your breast milk and administered.
I hope you find my response helpful ma'am. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
