Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What foods should a 6-month-old baby eat to supplement iron?Doctor's answer:
Supplement with iron-rich foods, such as iron-fortified infant formula, iron-fortified rice puffs, or iron drops. At the same time, it is also necessary to supplement with foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomato juice, vegetable puree, etc., to enhance iron absorption. Additionally, when the baby starts eating solid foods, it is important to feed them more iron-rich foods, such as egg yolks, rice porridge, vegetable porridge, etc. In the above cases, the baby can be breastfed normally two hours after taking the sugar pills. Within half an hour after eating the sugar pills, the baby should not eat or drink milk or water, as hot substances can easily damage the vaccine.
