A. For a 5-month-old baby, iron supplements are usually recommended only if prescribed by a doctor, especially for exclusively breastfed babies. Formula-fed babies usually get enough iron from formula. ✅ Common Iron Supplements for Infants (Doctor-Prescribed) Ferium XT Drops Dexorange Paediatric Drops Tonoferon Drops Trifer Drops Orofer XT Drops 📝 General Guidelines for Giving Iron Drops ✔ Give on an empty stomach (if baby tolerates it). ✔ Use a dropper or mix with breastmilk/formula if the baby resists the taste. ✔ Avoid giving with milk (as calcium interferes with absorption). ✔ Give with Vitamin C-rich foods (like orange juice, once baby starts solids) for better absorption. 🚨 Always consult a pediatrician before starting iron supplements to ensure the correct dose and prevent constipation or overdose.
