Iron drops for 4 months old

2023-09-19 13:52:10
My daughter is 4 months old. I have heard that iron drops are necessarily given from 4 months from some doctors but some say it is not a necessary medicine. Please tell if iron is necessary to be given to the baby and if yes then from which month to which month

Iron mainly for low birth weight babies. However a term baby can also be given but more of an optional basis or when prescribed by the doctor.
