These are side effects of iron. If causing significant discomfort to baby, try other brands eg. tonoferon, ferofit, feronia etc. It is better to give iron supplementation at this age as your baby is transitioning from breast milk to solids. With babies increasing growth requirement, only breast milk iron might not be sufficient. Also focus on iron rich diet.
