A. it is very important to give iron supplements to the child because the diet before 1 year of age is having very less amount of iron and it is very common that if the child is not given iron supplements the child will suffer from iron deficiency anaemia so better to continue iron supplements given by your doctor they are advisable to be continued till the child is consuming at least One Katori of iron rich food daily

A. hi if a child is looking happy and active, gains enough weight, achieve age appropriate milestones then no need of such extra medicines so you can discontinue after consulting with your pediatrician as he or she can give right guidance after examining your child
