A. No need to give anything except vitamin D3 drops, if baby is on exclusive breast feed. Continue with exclusive breast feed ur baby till completing 6months of age. It will help. Give vit D 3 drops 400 IU per day till 1yr of age. kd

A. Babies from birth to age 6 months should get 0.27 milligrams of iron a day. Breastfeeding moms should talk to their baby's health care providers about iron supplements beginning at age 4 months if they take iron supplements during this time. Babies ages 7 months to 12 months should get much more — 11 milligrams a day.
