A. it's not compulsory to start iron drops, if your baby has less haemoglobin than only give tonoferon. cofirm firts with your paediatrician once. continue with complementary food and bf.

A. Hello dear parent, my paediatric started wiyh iron, calcium and vitamin supplements to my baby from day 1 since he was born preterm. Now in your case you can take third opinion as well from third doctor. Then you can decide well, whether it should be given now or not.
