A. we haven't been informed anything about the anemia diagnosis on our visit by pediatrician but was told that babies can't make iron even if mother is on Iron supplements. And as baby weights around 4.1 kg we can start iron drops. Also please let us know if we can start multi vitamin or not as we are not sure if it's really needed or will it have any side effects on baby.
