When to start Iron and Vitamin B12 suppl
Hi Doctors Currently my son is 15 weeks old and he is exclusively on breastfeed and from day one he is taking Cipla D-Sol as vitamin D supplement but we are yet to start with iron, vitamin B12 supplements. Could you please suggest at what age we should start the iron and vitamin B12 supplements and which brand at what quantity. Waiting for your answers. Thanks
