A. Based on your son's height and weight, his growth appears to be within the normal range, but whether he needs an iron supplement depends on his diet and any signs of iron deficiency (such as fatigue, pale skin, or weakness). If his diet lacks sufficient iron-rich foods like meat, beans, spinach, and fortified cereals, an iron supplement might be beneficial. Generally, the recommended iron intake for a 3-year-old is about 7 mg per day. However, it’s important not to give supplements without consulting a pediatrician, as too much iron can be harmful. The pediatrician may recommend a specific dosage based on blood tests, if necessary.
