Hi,
That will depend on whether tonoferon was given as a prophylaxis or for treatment. If it was advised after detecting pallor and showing low hemoglobin on blood test, definitely we can continue. If no clinical pallor and the baby is growing well, fortified cereals would be good enough.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
