Vitamins and Low Iron

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Anyone have any experience in their LO's having low iron and the doctor suggesting a vitamin?  LO (9months)  still gets a mix of breastmilk and formula (and gets iron fortified cereal) but her pedi is still recommending a vitamin supplement after her fingerprick showed that her iron levels were slightly low.

    Our LO had low iron at 2 months.  They had her on tri-vi-sol with iron which has since been discontinued.  Now she's on poly-vi-sol with iron.  She takes 1ml/day.  She doesn't mind it at all...drinks it right down.

    DD is on vitamin drops and has been since 2mo.  At her 9mo appointment we switched to Poly-Vi-Sol with iron, but her levels were not checked until her 12mo appointment.

    My guy had a somewhat lowish level, 8.8 I think it was, at his 9 month check up. He recently had to go in for a sick visit and they rechecked it and it had gone up a full 3 points. I have been making a real effort to give foods high in iron such as b
