I have asked to give iron drops to my baby but my baby vomits as soon as the iron drops are given. Even I m allergic to iron tablets . How can I give iron to my 2 month old baby?
Brief Answer:
It can be mixed with fruit juice, cereal or formula to make it more palatab
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thank you for choosing healthcare magic. The following are few tips that can increase iron tolerance in an infant :
1) Giving iron drops with food rather than on empty stomach.
2) The dose may be placed directly into the mouth (towards the back of the tongue) or it may be mixed in formula (not milk), fruit juice, cereal, or other food as directed to increase your child's acceptance. It is best to give this medication right after a meal.
If your child still can't take iron drops, please do consult a pediatrician.

My baby is just 2 months and we tried mixing in milk though he vomited.
Brief Answer:
Please consult a pediatrician for information about iron drops.
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thank you for choosing healthcaremagic. Iron supplements should not be mixed in milk as it affects its absorption from intestine. Instead it maybe taken with some water (or fresh juice for older babies). Possibly some ingredient in formula could also cause this. You may try cow's milk.
Even if baby doesnot take iron now, he may take it as he grows.
You may need to consult a pediatrician for information about iron drops that would best suit your baby. Thank you. Take care.
