Hi My baby is 11weeks old, Doctor has prescribed her Orofer-XT drops 1.4ml till 6 weeks. My baby birth weight is 2.3kgs and now she is 4.8kgs, she is a active baby. May I know why my doctor has advised her iron drops? Is it safe to give her iron drops at just 11weeks, will it cause any side effects. Let me know Thank you.
