POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Premature babies should get an iron supplement by the time they are 8 weeks old until their first birthday. Children over a year old don't need an iron supplement unless they aren't eating enough iron-rich foods. Talk to your child's doctor if you think this is the case.
