A 8-month-old baby's blood iron storage is insufficient, can they eat Ivey's liver powder?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Iron deficiency does not proportionally correlate with early anemia in infants, except in cases with perinatal blood loss or a history of repeated blood sampling, early iron supplementation cannot prevent a decrease in hemoglobin. When premature infants double their birth weight, their iron stores become depleted, and therefore they should be supplemented with iron.
