Q.

#asktheexpert I was giving iron supplements (tonoferon drops) to my 4 months old baby on doctor's advice as he told me iron content in breast milk goes down after 4 months, but my baby started doing dark green colored poop. I was confused and stopped giving him tonoferon drops and the poop color came back to normal mustard yellow. Is it all right to give the iron supplement or should i discontinue it ?
