POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. 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. Let me know if you need more guidance!
