A. Yes, you can give iron syrup to your toddler daily, but it is important to do so under the guidance of a pediatrician. Toddlers need iron for healthy growth and development, as iron plays a crucial role in producing hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen in the blood. Iron is also essential for brain development and strengthening the immune system. If your toddler is iron deficient, giving iron supplements like syrup can help prevent anemia, improve energy levels, and enhance cognitive and physical development. However, too much iron can cause side effects such as constipation, nausea, or, in severe cases, iron toxicity. Therefore, it’s crucial to stick to the recommended dosage from your doctor to ensure your toddler gets the right amount of iron without over-supplementation.
