A. Iron supplementation for newborns typically depends on how the baby is fed: For breastfed babies, iron supplements are usually recommended starting at 6 months of age, as breast milk alone does not provide enough iron after this age. For formula-fed babies, additional iron supplements are usually not needed if the baby is receiving iron-fortified formula. However, preterm or low birth weight babies may need iron supplements earlier, often starting at 2–3 months, depending on pediatric advice. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any supplement to ensure the correct dosage and timing for your baby’s specific needs.
