HELP! My Baby Has Low Iron Levels 😰

Описание: #babyledweaning #babyfood #baby #babygagging #babyeating #blw #parentingtips #babyhealth

Can babies get enough iron from food? Which foods have iron in them that babies can safely eat with baby-led weaning? And what do you do if your baby’s iron screen hemoglobin levels DO come back low? Can food really “fix” your baby’s low iron problems?

In this video I’m walking you through in office iron checks for your baby to screen for anemia: what does an iron check look like, does it hurt my baby, how do I know if my baby is eating enough iron?

I’m a mom of 7 and a dietitian specializing in infant feeding and my youngest baby Hannah had low hemoglobin at her 12 month check. We used a food first approach and decided not to do iron drops and I’m sharing how this might work for you too.
