A. Continue with ur doctors prescription. Keep feeding him breastmilk or formula which contains iron. After the baby is six months old Iron fortified cereals can also be included in his diet. In addition to that try to include iron rich vegetables and iron fortified foods like sweet potato, ragi, oats, beetroot, peas etc., after one year u can give eggs, fish, all greens, lentils, soya beans, dry fruits, jagger, tofu etc., always follow ur doctors advice as haemoglobin levels has to be in good range for baby to gain immunity and fight infections.
