Dose of iron is calculated 6 mg per kg of elemental iron . Are you giving syrup or drops because in both the contents of elemental iron per ml will vary . 0.5 ml should. Be twice a day of drops for 8.5 kg . Don’t give iron with milk or food . Increase water intake , juices , cereals , reduce milk . All this will help .
