My baby 6 months old does not like the taste of iron what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't blame him: But why would a healthy 6 months old need iron for? you may want to give more mashed potatoes and other vegetables and fruits instead, that if you're exclusively breastfeeding, if not , all cow's milk formulas have enough iron, other minerals and vitamins that he needs till age 24 months
